| 6 | 49.6 | 49.6: James Neesham to Aiden Markram, SIX! BOOM! What a way to end the innings by Aiden Markram! Just one ball is what this in-form batter need and James Neesham is furious at himself. This is banged in short around off, Markram gets across his stumps, gets inside the line and pulls it with disdain over the fine leg fence for a biggie. 18 runs come off the final over and South Africa finish with 357/4 on the board. |
6 Over | Run: 357/4 | Run Rate: 7.14
| 0 | 49.5 | 49.5: James Neesham to David Miller, OUT! TAKEN! Excellent composure shown by Daryl Mitchell in the deep! Full and wide outside off, David Miller tries to get under the ball and thump it wide of long off but just can't quite get the elevation. Mitchell runs to his right from long off and takes a very good catch just inside the ropes but the momentum is taking him over the ropes. Mitchell does brilliantly to just pop the ball back up in the air before he crosses the ropes and gets back in to take in on the second attempt which is also confirmed by the replays. End of a devastating knock by Miller. |
| 6 | 49.4 | 49.4: James Neesham to David Miller, SIX! Swung away for six more and David Miller brings up a fast and furious half-century! This is full and on the pads, Miller walks across the stumps and just flicks it off his legs over the fine leg fence for another maximum. The 350 is also up for South Africa now. |
| 1 | 49.3 | 49.3: James Neesham to Heinrich Klaasen, Back of a length, angling in from around off, Heinrich Klaasen gets cramped for room and nudges it away to mid-wicket for a run. |
| 4 | 49.2 | 49.2: James Neesham to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR! Excellent placement but Will Young has been left bamboozled in the deep. This is banged in short and outside off, Heinrich Klaasen waits back and uppercuts it over point. Young strides to his left from deep cover-point and seems to be in control but the ball skids off the practice pitches and beats the fielder into the fence. |
| 1 | 49.1 | 49.1: James Neesham to David Miller, Full and outside off, in the slot a bit, David Miller looks to whack it downtown but mistimes it toward long on for a single. |
| 6 | 48.6 | 48.6: Trent Boult to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX! Heinrich Klaasen doesn't let a bad ball go unpunished and a fairly tidy over from Trent Boult ends up being a good one for the Proteas. Pitched up outside off, in the slot, Klaasen stays deep and lifts it over the wide long off boundary for a biggie. |
6 Over | Run: 339/3 | Run Rate: 6.92
| 1 | 48.5 | 48.5: Trent Boult to David Miller, Nicely bowled again! Banged in short again to Miller but goes pace on this time and over middle. David Miller can't quite get on top of the bounce and forces the pull down to long on for a run. |

| 1 | 48.1 | 48.1: Trent Boult to Heinrich Klaasen, Full and outside off, gets it right in the blockhole does Trent Boult. Heinrich Klaasen stays deep but still can't get under it and only manages to dig it out to long off for a single. |

| 6 | 47.3 | 47.3: Tim Southee to David Miller, SIX! 'If it's in the V, it's in the trees.' This is the saying David Miller lives by and he is staying true to it. Too full outside off and in the hitting arc, Miller has a slight shimmy across off stump and heaves it well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 1 | 47.2 | 47.2: Tim Southee to Heinrich Klaasen, Slower and shorter over middle and leg, Heinrich Klaasen helps it down to fine leg for a single. |
| 0 | 47.1 | 47.1: Tim Southee to Rassie van der Dussen, OUT! BOWLED'EM! 'You miss, I hit,' stuff from Tim Southee. Steams in and ends up bowling the off-cutter at just 116 clicks, on a good length around the top of off and this one turns back in off the deck. Rassie van der Dussen stays back in his crease and looks for the slog across the line but is completely undone by the lack of pace. The ball knocks over the top of middle and Rassie has to walk back after a stellar knock. |
| 1 | 46.6 | 46.6: Trent Boult to Rassie van der Dussen, Too full on the legs, whipped away toward deep mid-wicket for only a single. |

| 6 | 45.4 | 45.3: Glenn Phillips to David Miller, SIX! Another one! The 300 is now up for South Africa and David Miller has just got going. Drags the length back and bowls it short over middle, Miller is expecting just that and muscles the pull off the back foot over deep mid-wicket for another biggie. |
| 6 | 45.3 | 45.2: Glenn Phillips to David Miller, SIX! BANG! Six number 77 for South Africa in this World Cup and that is the record for most sixes by a team in a single World Cup.

| 0 | 40.2 | 40.2: Mitchell Santner to David Miller, A confident appeal for caught behind but it is turned down! Tom Latham and Mitchell Santner are convinced and they opt for the review. Pushed through, short and outside off, David Miller presses forward to defend this one on the off side but the ball keeps straight and zips past the outside edge.

A FOURTH HUNDRED in this World Cup for de Kock and he joins an exclusive list of just three batters to have scored four hundreds in a single edition of a World Cup.

| 1 | 35.4 | 35.4: James Neesham to Rassie van der Dussen, DROPPED! Trent Boult makes a mess of that one and doesn't even get a hand on it. Slower one, pitched up around off stump, Rassie van der Dussen makes room and looks to slap it over covers but has to reach for it a bit. Rassie ends up toe-ending it over mid off where Boult runs back and makes the hard yards but gets himself in an awkward position, reaching for the ball with his weaker hand. Just the single then. |

| 0 | 35.1 | 35.1: James Neesham to Rassie van der Dussen, Just not happening for New Zealand, James Neesham gets a body blow and then Mitchell Santner misses a regulation run out. Too full from Neesham on middle, Rassie van der Dussen makes room and powers the low full toss straight back at the bowler. Neesham looks to get his hands behind it but gets thudded around the right wrist or thumb and the ball deflects onto the off side. Quinton de Kock is halfway down the track looking for the single but van der Dussen sends him back late. De Kock leaves all hope of getting back as Santner fires in a throw but thankfully for de Kock, Santner misses his mark. Meanwhile, Neesham is left feeling the pain of van der Dussen's stroke. |
