Thanks to Finn Allen's record-breaking century, New Zealand defeated South Africa by 9 wickets to enter the ICC T20 World Cup final.
Allen's unbeaten 100 off 33 balls was the fastest in T20 World Cup history, overtaking Chris Gayle's century off 47 balls.
The opening batsman's explosive innings and Tim Seifert's 58-run innings helped South Africa quickly achieve the target of 170 runs.
Marco Johnson's 55* off 30 balls was not enough to take the Proteas to a defendable score.
New Zealand's bowlers, led by Cole McConchie, Rachin Ravindra and Matt Henry, restricted South Africa to 169–8.
South Africa's ICC knockout struggles continue, with captain Aiden Markram admitting that Allen's innings was a key factor in the result.
“When you're at the receiving end of an innings like this, you often don't get the right result,” he said after the match.
A New Zealand victory will give them real confidence that their quest for a first World Cup title can be over – with just one game separating the Kiwis from silverware.
The Black Caps will face the winner of India vs England in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
