New Zealand crushed South Africa by nine wickets in the T20 World Cup semi-final at Eden Park, driven by Finn Allen's unbeaten 100 off 33 balls—the fastest century in tournament history. Building on their bowling effort that restricted the Proteas to 169/8 (covered in our first-innings report), the Black Caps chased 170 with 43 balls to spare, advancing to face India or England.
England secured a four-wicket victory over New Zealand in their final Super Eight match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 in Colombo. Chasing 160, England overcame early setbacks to win with 3.3 overs remaining. The result leaves New Zealand's semi-final hopes dependent on another match.
