New Zealand vs South Africa Tweet report: 'Team with more CSK players won, right?'

Grant Elliott struck a six from the penultimate ball for New Zealand to beat South Africa by four wickets in a cliffhanger and reach its first Cricket World Cup final on Tuesday. [caption id=“attachment_2167955” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Getty images](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/NewZealand_GettyImages.jpg) Getty images[/caption] New Zealand came to the last over of a rain-shortened match needing 12 runs to reach its Duckworth-Lewis target of 298 from 43 overs, and made it with just one ball left at Eden Park. “I don’t even know where the ball went,” Elliott said after hitting a surprising length ball from Dale Steyn over the long-on boundary. In Sunday’s final, New Zealand will face either Australia or India, who meet on Thursday. “We’ve had a good run,” Elliott said. “First final we’ve been in as a New Zealand team. We’re a very level team. We’ll just approach it as any other game.” Earlier, Faf du Plessis made 82, captain AB de Villiers 65 not out, and David Miller 49 from 18 balls as South Africa compiled 281-5 batting first, taking 65 runs from the five overs left to it after the rain. New Zealand then chased a revised total of 298, and reached that formidable objective with cricket fans of two nations holding their breath. The Kiwis were guided home by Elliott, with 84 not out, and Daniel Vettori, 7 not out. AP
