South Africa captain AB de Villiers is confident of beating New Zealand in the World Cup semi-finals at Auckland on Tuesday. The Proteas did lose twice in the group stage of the tournament to India and Pakistan but they claimed the important victory over Sri Lanka in the last-eight – their first ever knockout win in the competition.
The 1998 ICC Champions Trophy had previously exited the World Cup at the quarter-final stage on two occasions, losing to West Indies in 1996 and most recently The Kiwis in 2011.
Semi-final exits were suffered in 1992, 1999 and 2007 but these fixtures were the first knockout matches of the tournament due to the round-robin format used in 92, the Super Six’s in 99 and the Super 8′s in 07.
The past failures are in the past now though after the victory over Sri Lanka and many have suggested that this World Cup is the best chance the Proteas have of lifting the title.
De Villiers has been particularly impressive for South Africa in the tournament so far with the captain scoring the record amount of sixes (20) in the group stage.
It is the bowlers that have been the shining light though with the Proteas conceding 5.78 runs on average in the last 15 overs of the innings, another competition best.
De Villiers is looking forward to the semi-final clash against New Zealand, who have won seven from as many games, and the skipper insists his side will be too good if they play to their best at Eden Park.
“It’s silly to focus too much on the cricket they’ve played,” he said. “I believe if we play to our full potential, nobody is going to stop us in this tournament.
“If we play a good game of cricket we’ll come out on top. We’re that confident in our abilities as a cricket team. We’ve played some really good cricket in New Zealand. In the last five ODIs we’ve come out on top, and that’s what we focus on now.”
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Lets hope so as the Quarter-finals were a bit of an anti-climax as none of the games were particularly competitive. The best 4 teams in the tournament have made it to the semis and all will feel like they have a chance to win.

For some reason the big matches are often an anti-climax, not just in cricket but in other sports too. I don't watch a lot of tennis, but I try to watch the tail end of the grand slams, and the finals are often disappointing. I guess that's when mental toughness is tested most.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0
