History beckons for both the Black Caps and South Africa in today’s Cricket World Cup semifinal at Eden Park.
New Zealand comes into the match on a golden run, unbeaten on a nine game winning streak.
South Africa have recovered from a shaky start after losses to India and Pakistan in pool play, but this appears to only have showed that they are true title contenders.
Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum is only too aware that South Africa possesses the talent to inflict plenty of pain on them, should they allow.
South African captain, AB de Villiers said they personally don't like to focus too much on the opposition and believes that if they play to their full potential, nobody is going to stop them in this tournament.
The last time the Black Caps and South Africa met was in the quarter finals in 2011, which New Zealand won by 49 runs in Bangladesh, only to lose their semifinal to Sri Lanka.
The Black Caps face South Africa at 1pm today.
In the second semifinal, Australia face India at 3.30pm Thursday.
