Finn Allen and Tim Seifert have taken New Zealand off to a flier against South Africa in their chase of 170 runs. Quinton de Kock dropped a crucial catch to send Seifert back to the pavilion. How costly would that drop be?

Cole McConchie (2/9), Rachin Ravindra (2/29), and Matt Henry (2/34) starred with the ball for the Black Caps as they kept constant pressure on the Proteas and did not allow the South African batters to score freely in the high-stakes clash. 

Dewald Brevis (34) and David Miller (6) fall in quick succession as New Zealand choke South Africa in first semifinal of T20 World Cup 2026 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday.
