#MichaelClarke and #StevenSmith have strung a calm and steady partnership to surge ahead in this #CWC15 Final at the #MCG.
Looks like the inevitable is round the corner.
Clarke, under immense pressure, when he came in, soaked in tidy bowling and then opened up to deliver a superb innings. Fitting for grand finale to end a grand ODI career in style.

After a minor hiccup upfront (#AaronFinch spooned c and b Boult), #DavidWarner has decided to run riot in this chase smashing boundaries and taking the Kiwi bowlers ON.
Kiwis tried everything to break his partnership with #StevenSmith but he raced away hitting boundaries to Boult, Southee and Henry.
He edged one to second slip but it was just removed a ball earlier and he scored a boundary there. It was all going for him, but #MarkHenry induced a false pull shot to claim his wicket at a time when the game was beginning to slip away.
NZ have regrouped again and put fierce pressure on #MichaelClarke with a 7-2 field.
His edge flew through the two short covers.
SteveSmith was even luckier. His inside edge hit the stumps but didn't dislodge the bails.
A lot happening at the MCG. But, still Asutralia's game to win.
Kiwis are going to need something special to pull back this one!

#DavidMiller has come, has seen and has conquered the Eden Park with an awesome innings that has propelled SA to a very challenging score against New Zealand in the first semifinal at #CWC15.
#FafduPlessis was out the first ball he faced after resumption and that pegged SA back.
But Miller walked in and walked out with a dominant innings of strokeplay and immense timing. So much so, that his skipper deVilliers let go a few running opportunities to keep Miller on strike!
A stunning 49 in 18 deliveries has just shifted the game in SA's favor a bit.
Kiwis need 298 (adjusted according to D/L method) to win this match and the Proteas' bowlers will go all out against them. Looks pretty interesting this and runs on the board for SA will make them slight favorites!

After almost an hour of incessant rain pouring at the #EdenPark, the match resumes.
There has been a #DL calculation to account for lost time.
It will be a 43 overs a side match.
This seems advantage New Zealand on two counts:
- the rhythm of SA batsmen will have broken and gives NZ a chance to regroup better
- they will know exactly how many to score? SA's plan to attack at the end will have to be realigned.
South Africa will bat for another 5 overs and then we're back with the Kiwi run chase. Hopefully, there will be no further interruptions and we should have a cracking game on the cards!

#ABDevilliers has exploded at the #EdenPark vs NZ in their semifinal at #CWC15.
You cannot give him half a chance in the field, Kiwis have already given him two!
#KaneWilliamson on both occasions. First he missed a direct hit to run AB out. In the very next over, he missed a regulation catch (by NZ standards) at short cover to give him another life. Since then ABD has let loose and smashing the Kiwis all over the park.
Just when they were about to run away with the game, rain has interrupted play.
Whats with SA and rain in semifinals? surely this is not going to hurt them right?
But, the longer the delay .. the advantage will lie with New Zealand since they will know exactly how much to get and plan it accordingly.
The match will be truncated now and SA will need to ensure they keep the momentum going!
AB and Faf at the crease...

After Rossouw and Faf duPlessis steadied their ship, #ABDevilliers has come in and shifted gears already. He is pushing the accelerator to post a big score to put any pressure on the strong NZ batting line up in the second innings. In the meanwhile, Faf duPlessis has completed a well composed 50 and looking good to go three figures.
New Zealand skipper #BrendonMcCullum is still trying to attack and get wickets. He's keeping fielders in attacking positions to snap the prized wicket of AB or Faf to get into their lower middle order.
Match on a knife's edge at the moment.
Who will seize the initiative? Will Boult and company stop the SA charge? or AB-Faf partnership will take it away from the Kiwis?
Fascinating play coming up, especially the batting powerplay round the corner will make it really interesting!

#FafduPlessis and #RileeRossouw have steadied the SA ship.
After huge pressure upfront and quick wickets of Amla and deKock, SA had pulled things back with this partnership.
Slowly and steadily, they have seized initiative from the #Kiwis and progressing well.
Platform is well set for the explosive middle and late order to take over (deVilliers, Miller and Duminy).
Match on an even keel.
Who will blink first?

#TrentBoult bowling with 5 slips!! This has a test match feel
"Lightning" Boult has struck twice for New Zealand against South Africa.
His speed, line, bounce, swing has troubled all SA batsmen thus far.
After a couple of dropped catches, he has picked two wickets deservedly.
First he castled #HashimAmla through an inside edge on a delivery that swung sharply.
He had #QuintonDeKock hopping and edging around. Sensing immense pressure, deKock charged at Boult and spooned a simple catch to third man.
#FafDuPlessis and #RileeRossouw at the crease.
You can feel the intensity out there. Lot of needle. Not an inch given, not an inch taken ... fabulous start!

In a tense battle of nerves, South Africa have won the toss and elected to bat first.
Good toss to win for the Proteas. Bat first, get a score on board and put pressure on the other team.
One change in each side.
South Africa - #VernonPhilander comes in for #KyleAbbott (feel for him. He's bowled well in every game he's played)
New Zealand - #MattHenry comes in #AdamMilne (surprising to put a completely new bowler in the fold. Something what Sri Lanka tried to surprise the opposition?)
History beckons both sides.
The winner will enter a world cup final for the first time ever in their history.
Does it get bigger than this?
Let the match begin!

As it is chasing 393 was going to be a very tough, loss of early wickets has made it impossible for Windies to comeback in this game.
This considering #GayleStorm is still at the crease and creaming bowlers all over the park. #TrentBoult has picked all 4 wickets to fall so far and bowling great lines.
The Windies came out with a purpose and started smashing from Ball 1 as needed. However, everytime they tried to string a partnership, Boult was there to sneak out a wicket.
#DanVettori's catch to dismiss #MarlonSamuels was one of the catches of the tournament!
Looks like we are in for some entertainment this evening if Gayle stays for an hour.
393 is way to far but as long as Gayle stays, Kiwis will not want to relax a bit.

#DanielVettori has brought the Kiwis back in the game brilliantly.
Brought in to bowl in the opening #Powerplay to curb the rampaging #Aussies, he has produced a dream spell of control, guile and produced the much needed breakthrough. He had #ShaneWatson caught in the deep by Tim Southee.
Immediately after that, Southee trapped the very dangerous #DavidWarner #legbefore.
Warner and Clarke reviewed it but #hawkeye went with the umpire and out was the decision.
Two new batsmen at the crease
#MichaelClarke playing an international after almost 3 months
#StevenSmith

The Australia v NewZealand game looks to be living to its reputation.
The game has just started but you can feel the buzz ... an intensity at a different level.
Hope it remains that way and match lives up to its huge billing.
Australia have won the toss and elected to bat first.
After 11 overs, they are 70 for 1.
#DavidWarner and #ShaneWatson at the crease just getting their eyes in.
#AaronFinch bowled by #TimSouthee.
