New Zealand stormed into the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with a commanding nine-wicket victory over South Africa in the first semi-final at Eden Gardens.
Chasing 170 for victory, the Black Caps produced a sensational batting display, reaching the target in just 12.5 overs.
The highlight of the run chase was a breathtaking unbeaten century by Finn Allen, who smashed 100 off just 33 deliveries in one of the fastest and most explosive knocks in tournament history.
