Allen's stunning 100* off 33 balls puts New Zealand into final - report
New Zealand win by nine wickets with 43 balls to spare
Black Caps will face India or England in Sunday's final
New Zealand hit second-highest powerplay score of tournament (84-0)
McConchie takes two wickets in two balls as SA make poor start
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner is clearly feeling charitable, tossing South Africa a couple of wides. He also concedes two singles, leaving him with figures of 0-25 from his four overs.
Four overs to go. When are South Africa going to burst into life? Are they going to burst into life?

Lockie Ferguson returns to the attack and opens with a slow yorker which Marco Jansen jabs his bat in front of.
His first four deliveries yield four singles but before he can bowl the fifth the siren goes to indicate a no ball.
No panic from Ferguson, however. Two singles and a dot to finish. Not much timing on display from South Africa's batters.

Image source, ReutersThis is a tricky period for South Africa but what they do have is Marco Jansen and Tristan Stubbs play together in the SA20.
They need to take the game deep and try to capitalise; these two will be experienced in that.
Tristan Stubbs dabs and runs to bring up South Africa's 100 off the penultimate ball of the over.
Marco Jansen lines up to pound Rachin Ravindra for another boundary but doesn't connect and has to settle for a single.
10 off the over. Stubbs and Jansen have put on 24 (22) for the sixth wicket.
Ravindra finishes with figures of 2-29.

That was an over-spinner from Rachin Ravindra looking to get bounce but Marco Jansen is rangey. A lovely loft over the bowler.
That's more like it from Marco Jansen! A step down and hammered down the ground for six. Bowler Rachin Ravindra gawps up to the sky as he follows its trajectory.
Jansen hits Ravindra for six
There's a boundary! It's very fortuitous, Marco Jansen squirting an edge through third for four. He has to look around for the ball, which tells you how unintentional it was.
Seven off the over.
Rachin Ravindra's third over yields four singles and two dots.
South Africa have only scored two boundaries - both sixes - since the end of the fifth over.

Jimmy Neesham was slapped about for 17 runs in his one powerplay over.
On his return to the attack, he's picked up the big wicket of Dewald Brevis, who smacked 42 (18) against Zimbabwe, and conceded just three singles.
What will South Africa be confident of defending? 150? 160? Feels a long way away.

They need to negotiate their game to compromise that.

Genius captaincy, there is no doubt about it! The New Zealand fans cannot believe it.
Brevis c Santner b Neesham 34 (SA 77-5)
'Its genius captaincy' - Brevis caught by Santner
Another gift of a wicket for New Zealand. Dewald Brevis spoons a catch to Mitchell Santner, who moves a step or two to his left in the covers.
South Africa are five down in the 11th over. Did anyone have that on their bingo card?
New Zealand are inching clear on the win predictor...

Would love to see a New Zealand v England final. A chance for the Kiwis to get revenge for the World Cup 2019.

New Zealand will still be regretting those catches but there is certainly pressure on the lower-middle order now.
Miller c Mitchell b Ravindra 6 (SA 77-4)
Miller caught by Mitchell after being dropped on three
Relief for Glenn Phillips - his drop doesn't prove costly!
David Miller, dropped on three, doesn't get the required distance and the ball plops safely into the hands of Daryl Mitchell just inside the rope.
At the halfway mark, South Africa are 77-4.
One of Zimbabwe's players attempted an audacious one-handed sweep against South Africa on Sunday but didn't get the desired connection.
Dewald Brevis, however, absolutely nails his one-hander, pounding Rachin Ravindra over long-on for six.

Glenn Phillips ran so quick towards the ball that he had to put the brakes on at the last minute. It missed his hands completely.
