The highest successful run chase in World Cup history is 329 by Ireland against England in 2007. Only 6 teams have ever chased down a score of 300+ in the World Cup. In the history of the game, only 3 teams have ever successfully chased down a score of 350+ (South Africa chased down 435 against Australia in 2006 and India chased down 360 and 351 against Australia in 2013).

Aww Gina !!  My nerves in today's game with your SA team vs NZ (1st semi-final) was nerve jangling and it wasn't even my team playing ... so can imagine what it was like for you 

The emotion shown by SA at the end of game was a reflection of their great disappointment in losing ... I found it very, very heartbreaking.

My prediction for this WC was actually one of AUS/SA/NZ.  Looks like an AUS/NZ final.  If it's any consolation ... AUS will most likely lift the WC

No consolation. Now that my team is out, I'll be supporting New Zealand. I think a lot of South Africans will be.

Australia has won too many times and it's time for a new champion.

Maybe, but things would have been different had there been no rain interruption. Unlucky South Africans.

Nice to see you back !
Bet that this last 15 overs is abandoned tonight for a traditional ODI 

I think a new method must be used to determine the winners in tournaments such as the world cup because with the new approach to batting, the dw/l method has become unreliable. The match between South Africa and New Zealand is a clear example of this.
