World Cup 2019: 5 Thrilling semifinals in the history of the tournament

#2 2015: A Grant Elliot six silenced the mighty South Africans

Elliot played a stunning knock to take NZ to their first ever final

South Africa and New Zealand - two teams that played the aggressive brand of cricket in the 2015 World Cup faced off in the first semi-final. Faf du Plessis anchored the innings with a measured 82 while AB de Villiers' 45-ball 65 and David Miller's 18-ball 49 took the total to 281 off 43 overs.

A bit of rain revised the D/L target to 298 in 43 overs. Brendon McCullum was at his destructive best as his 26-ball 59 took the total to 71 in six overs. Morne Morkel stole the momentum by picking up the key wickets of McCullum and Kane Williamson.

Fortune again flung towards the BlackCaps as all-rounders Corey Anderson and Grant Elliot mixed caution with aggression to keep the chase alive.

Dale Steyn failed to defend 12 off the last over as Elliot hit a six off the penultimate ball to seal the win for New Zealand.
