13th & 14th Matches Super 10's ENG V SA & NZ V NED

New Zealand 152-4 (19 overs) beat the Netherlands 151-4 (20 overs) by six wickets

Captain Brendon McCullum steered New Zealand to a routine six-wicket victory over the Netherlands that keeps their World Twenty20 semi-final hopes alive.

McCullum became the first man to reach 2,000 T20 international runs with 65 off 45 balls as the Kiwis chased down the 152 target with six balls in hand.

The Dutch, who managed a creditable 151-4, are out of the competition.

New Zealand face Sri Lanka on Monday in a shootout for a semi-final spot after South Africa knocked out England.

Test Match Special Analysis

"It was a good performance by New Zealand. They were good in the field, especially finishing the innings well. They were tentative early on with the bat, but McCullum took the game away from the Dutch. They have a big encounter with Sri Lanka on Monday."

Put in to bat, the Netherlands made a stodgy start on a two-paced pitch, but gathered impetus in a 60 partnership between captain Peter Borren and Tom Cooper.

Borren mixed good fortune and aggressive strokeplay, while Cooper showed plenty of power in hitting two sixes and four fours.

But the innings stalled after the dismissal of Borren for 49 at the end of the 18th over. Jimmy Neesham delivered five successive dot balls to new batsman Ben Cooper, with the Dutch adding only 10 runs in the last two overs.

New Zealand lost the out-of-form Martin Guptill to an ugly swipe in the fourth over, but soon set about chalking off the required runs with minimal fuss.

McCullum led the way with his 12th Twenty20 international half-century, while Kane Williamson (29) and Ross Taylor also chipped in.

Taylor smashed a huge six into the top tier of the stands, only to get out for 18 to the following ball from Timm van der Gugten when Wesley Baressi ran from behind the stumps to claim an impressive catch.

McCullum fell in the 17th over to a slower ball from Van der Gugten, but the big-hitting Corey Anderson rounded off the win with an unbeaten 20 off 14 balls.

"Netherlands put up a really good fight," said McCullum. "The surface was different than what we saw earlier, but the way we bowled in the last two overs pulled their total back."

Netherlands captain Borren said his opposite number was the difference between the two sides.

"It was a reasonably comfortable chase for New Zealand - Brendon batted very, very well," Borren said.

"He got them through. If we could have got him at some stage, it would have been a very different story." 

S Africa 196-5 (20 overs) beat England 193-7 (20 overs) by three runs

England were knocked out of the World Twenty20 in the group stage as an AB De Villiers-inspired South Africa booked their place in the semi-finals.

De Villiers, standing in as captain for the banned Faf du Plessis, hit 69 off 28 balls as the Proteas scored 55 in the last three overs to reach 196-5.

Alex Hales (38) gave England a good start, but three quick wickets for Wayne Parnell turned the tide.

Spinner Imran Tahir then took 2-27 as England fell three runs short on 193-7.

England's final match against the Netherlands on Monday is now academic, while Sri Lanka and New Zealand will play off for the second qualifying spot from Group One.

Test Match Special Analysis

Jonathan Agnew BBC cricket correspondent

"England will rue the match against New Zealand, but I thought that was a spirited performance. Three wayward overs at the end, along with the brilliance of De Villiers, left a target that was always going to be a struggle."

Remarkably, at 144-5 after 16 overs, England were actually 13 runs ahead of where South Africa had been at the same point.

But the Proteas' innings was given a sudden catalyst by the brilliant De Villiers and a wayward Jade Dernbach, who conceded 26 runs off the 18th over of the innings.

A further 29 followed off the final 12 balls as South Africa posted the highest score of the tournament so far and set England a target they were always unlikely to reach.

That they came relatively close owed much to a spirited late 31 off 18 balls by Ravi Bopara and a six off the final ball of the day from Tim Bresnan when the match - and England's chances of reaching the last four - had already gone.

England lost to New Zealand on the Duckworth-Lewis method in their first match but rebounded to beat Sri Lanka as Hales hit a match-winning hundred.

But the defeat by South Africa rounds off a miserable winter that featured heavy series defeats in all three formats in Australia and an indifferent limited-overs tour of the West Indies.

Put in to bat under floodlights that twice failed in the first hour, causing short delays to proceedings, South Africa raced to 85-0 in their first 10 overs as a pumped-up Hasim Amla made his first T20 international fifty.

But England fought back gamely with 3-36 in the next five overs as Amla (56), Quinton de Kock (29) and JP Duminy (5) all perished, the latter to a comical run-out when his bat slipped out of his hand as he dashed for a second run.

De Villiers wrenched the game back in his team's favour with an extraordinary display. He reverse swept a 92mph delivery from Chris Jordan and somehow heaved a low full toss from Bresnan over midwicket for six on his way to fifty off 23 deliveries.

And there was more to come. Two sixes were bludgeoned off the unfortunate Dernbach, who was also hit for two fours by David Miller and sent down two wides and a no-ball in a disastrous 18th over as South Africa gave their score a crucial late boost.

England scored 62-1 in the six-over powerplay but lost momentum when Hales and Moeen Ali were dismissed in successive balls by Parnell, who had been drafted in for Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

Eoin Morgan nicked Tahir to the keeper for 14 off 14 balls and Jos Buttler was caught reverse-sweeping for 34.

Bopara just about kept the game alive with three fours and a six, but when he holed out to the first ball of the final over the game was up.
