What a superb display of batting by Quinton De Kock and Van De Der Russen(I hope I named him correctly, but could be a bit off). Thry both played aggressively vs Kiwis and helped Proteas make a big score of 357 in 50 overs. In return, barring a few batsmen, Kiwis struggled against the bowling of Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj and more. They finally got out at 167, thus giving a whopping 190 run win !! A big booster for the Proteas and well, Kiwis need to win all their remaining matches and depend on other teams' outcomes for their Semi Final chances. As of today, Proteas look to be in a Great frame of mind !

I am worried about the Kiwis. Haven't they already lost at least two?

@TheHorse They lost to India and then Australia. Now to South Africa. They still have a chance but one can never say how the things would go for them.

@TheHorse I am yet to see all the calculations but they need to win all their remaining league matches.
