A easy win for South Africa with all the batsmen getting some runs,
Gibbs should be Man of the Match, and the bowlers also bowled well
at the start of the innings
Who will the other semi-finalists be? that will be decided after
the game between India and England
The next match is between Pakistan and the Netherlands
As predicted, not a difficult task, Herschelle Gibbs is Man of the
Match
