12:59 GMT: Start of play for the day | |||
New Zealand won the toss and will bowl | |||
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the match 41 in the 2007 Cricket World Cup where New Zealand aim to bounce back from their defeat to Sri Lanka by turning their attentions to South Africa, themselves wanting to keep their semi-final hopes alive, in this, the 17th game of the Super Eights from the National Cricket Stadium in St George's, Grenada. | |||
It's third against fourth as everyone has now played five games and have two left. All the sides, bar Ireland, can still qualify so a win here today is imperative to keep those chasing at bay. In fact, a South African victory will send West Indies and Bangladesh home and England will have it all to do to get through. | |||
It was not a good day for the Kiwis on Thursday here at St George's as they were comprehensively beaten by Sri Lanka, despite Scott Styris' unbeaten 111. This game promises to be a real cracker as neither side can afford to relax as the last four beckons. We are really getting down to the business end of the tournament now. | |||
Team news for today's game and it is thought that New Zealand might give their second spinner a chance, given the Proteas perceived failings against spin. He could come in for Mark Gillespie, who didn't really impress in the Sri Lanka game. South Africa should be unchanged, with Herschelle Gibbs recovering from his injury and AB deVilliers from his cramps. | |||
Who will win today? Tough one again as we reach crunch time but the Kiwis are in great form (spare their performance on Thursday) and the South Africans are so hit and miss! Just fancy Stephen Fleming's team. | |||
The National Stadium in Grenada has been used on ten previous ODI occasions but not since the West Indies played Bangladesh in 2004 and won by 7 wickets prior to the two matches played so far in the Super Eights. This ground is proving to have hope for both batsman and bowlers alike. | |||
Wavell Hinds in the leading run-scorer on this ground with 263 runs in 4 matches (average 131.50) while Chris Gayle is the head wicket-taker with 10 from 6 matches (average 21.80). | |||
It will be the 47th time these two sides have played in one-day internationals and South Africa have a 27-15 lead with four no-results. The ICC Champions Trophy was the last time they met and New Zealand came through by 87 runs, ratting South Africa out for only 108. | |||
In World Cups, there have been four previous games and it's 2-2. New Zealand won in Auckland in 1992 before South Africa were victorious in 1996 at Faisalabad and 1999 at Birmingham. A rain-affected game at Johannesburg went to New Zealand by 9 wickets on the D/L method in 2003. | |||
The highest individual score for New Zealand v South Africa is 134* by Stephen Fleming at Johannesburg in 2002/2003. | |||
The highest individual score for South Africa v New Zealand is 169* by David Callaghan at Verwoerdburg in 1994/1995. | |||
The best bowling performance for New Zealand v South Africa is 4-35 by Geoff Allott at Dunedin in 1998/1999. | |||
The best bowling performance for South Africa v New Zealand is 5-31 by Makhaya Ntini at Melbourne in 2001/2002. | |||
Mark Benson is joined by Daryl Harper in the middle for this game. Billy Doctrove is the third umpire and Asad Rauf is the fourth. Chris Broad is the match referee. | |||
