Kagiso Rabada to Rachin Ravindra, FOUR, Ravindra doesn't take long to find the boundary as well! Angling away outside off, an off-cutter, and he cuts it superbly through backward point. Absolutely races away off his bat!

Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, out Bowled!! Stays low, jags in and crashes into middle and leg! Too little too late from Rabada. The damage is done. This is bashed into the pitch on a good length and there's some variable bounce. Seifert looks to slog expecting it to bounce normally, but it stays low while also cutting in. Misses completely. Tim Seifert b Kagiso Rabada 58(33) [4s-7 6s-2]

Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, no run, goes too hard and gets an inside edge onto pad

Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, FOUR, this guy can get rampant. KG hasn't had a good tournament apart from the West Indies game and he's not having the best of times tonight as well. Short of a length delivery, sat up, Seifert says thank you very much and smacks it wide of mid-on
4.4

Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, SIX, Tim Seifert will not spare slot balls. KG bowls a poor ball and Seifert punishes him long and hard over long-on. South Africa feeling the heat already

Kagiso Rabada to Finn Allen, 1 run, steered to third man
1.5
Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, 1 run, another one doesn't carry to hand. This is very nervous stuff from New Zealand, very unlike them. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Seifert wanted to slap it over the infield, the ball went off the bottom of the bat and just landed in front of Maharaj at extra-cover
1.4
Kagiso Rabada to Finn Allen, 1 run, Allen looks tentative. Full and on the stumps, flicked wide of mid-on

Kagiso Rabada to Finn Allen, FOUR, oh he's edged this between slip and short third man. The gap was pretty tight but he managed to pierce this. Short of a length delivery moving away, Allen wanted to steer, but he got it on the outside half of the bat and it rolled along the ground
1.2
Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, 1 run, this is ages in the sky. And it's down. No one got a hand on it. What are you doing in a semifinal, South Africa? Short delivery, Seifert was surprised by the length and got a massive top edge on the pull shot. Seemed like a communication error between the keeper and Brevis. The keeper had to run to the left and dive full length and he didn't even get a hand on it in the end

Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, no run, fullish delivery, Seifert drives to mid-off
