Guess who's coming to their first ever Cricket World Cup final?
Regardless of the result, one team would be going to their first ever Cricket World Cup final. That team happened to be the Black Caps, who last night overcame a rain delay, loss of seven overs, and an increased target to beat South Africa by 4 wickets. Although South Africa were 281 for 5 in their innings, the Duckworth-Lewis rule came into play and the target was increased from 282 to 298 to account for the fact that the Proteas were playing like they had 50 overs and did not bat as aggressively as if they had known all along they only had 43. It was almost 11pm local time when the Black Caps made 299 for 6. Kinda makes up for the food poisoning incident at the Rugby World Cup final 20 years ago, doesn't it?
