South africa beat new zealand by 1 run in the last ball NZ needs 4 runs to win but they could only mange to get 2 on the last ball and south africa win the match by 1 run
NZ is 93-4 and need 36 runs in 18 balls looks very hard from here to make 2 runs every ball so from here it looks like that south africa is going to win…but who can say things about cricket so its better to wait and watch.

It nothing else than the bad batting show.

Till that wait for the next [...]
