    Malinga to de Kock
    slower ball outside off, de Kock thrashes it away through the covers - that's it, those are the winning runs, South Africa win by nine wickets, they win a knockout game at a World Cup for the first time, they're into the semi-finals!
    17.5
    0
    Malinga to de Kock
    goes full, around the line of off, dipping towards the blockhole but de Kock drops his bat on it
    17.4
    0
    Malinga to de Kock
    slung in short of a length again, again de Kock fails to get anything on it
    17.4
    1
    Malinga to de Kock
    banged, de Kock wafts at it, judged to be too high again - another extra donated to the SA anti-choke fund
    17.3
    2
    Malinga to de Kock
    short again and chopped through point for a couple more
    17.2
    1

    pitched up in the channel, opens the face and runs to third man
    17.1
    3

    starrs short and slightly wide, floaty slower-ball bouncer, cut imperiously away through backward point
    16.6
    0
    Kaushal to du Plessis
    du Plessis is definitely struggling a little with Kaushal here, tries to hit his away out and is beaten again, the ball skidding through outside off, not far wide of the timber
    16.5
    0
    Kaushal to du Plessis
    another appeal, this time for a bat-pad catch at short leg, du Plessis played down the wrong line and the ball ballooned up... don't think there was any glove on it
    16.4
    2
    Kaushal to du Plessis
    too straight this time, just a tickle of bat and it runs fine for a couple
    16.3
    0
    Kaushal to du Plessis
    flighted, around off stump, du Plessis lunges forward and there's bat and pad involved, not sure which was first muted appeal from SL but Llong isn't interested
    16.2
    0
    Kaushal to du Plessis
    around the wicket, floated up and straightening a touch on middle and off, defended
    16.1
    3
    Kaushal to de Kock
    signs of turn for Kaushal, takes the outside edge as de Kock pushed forwards, wasn't to the pitch but the nick died and ran away to third man
    15.6
    1
    Dilshan to de Kock
    angled in with the arm, turned away through square leg
    15.5
    0
    Dilshan to de Kock
    tight line, skidding on to the pads as de Kock looked to work it away
    15.4
    2
    Dilshan to de Kock
    tossed up, de Kock skips out and chips a drive over the bowler's head, long-on comes across to prevent four
    15.3
    2
    Dilshan to de Kock
    flat delivery outside off, slapped off the back foot through the covers for two
    15.2
    1
    Dilshan to du Plessis
    on the stumps, flicked off the pads to midwicket
    15.1
    2
    Dilshan to du Plessis
    slightly short to begin with, du Plessis stays in the crease and crunches a couple through the covers
    14.6
    0
    Perera to de Kock
    slightly back of a length outside off and de Kock swings and misses
