BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) -- One of the most amazing finishes to a cricket match ended in a tie between Australia and South Africa at Edgbaston, a result that put the Australians into the World Cup final against Pakistan on Sunday:
Here are how the last two overs were played out with South Africa, at 196 for seven, needing 18 to win off 12 balls.
Mark Boucher fails to score run off Glenn McGrath -- 18 needed off 11
McGrath bowls Boucher; 196-8 -- 18 off 10
Steve Elworthy single -- 17 off 9
Elworthy run out going for second run: 198-9 -- 16 off 8
Paul Reiffel fails to catch Lance Klusener's big hit and accidentally pushes it over boundary for six -- 10 off 7
Klusener single to keep strike -- 9 off 6
Klusener hits Damien Fleming for four -- 5 off 5
Klusener hits another four -- 1 off 4
Klusener changes mind about single, Allan Donald almost run out by Darren Lehman throw which just misses stumps -- 1 off 3
Klusener goes for single, Donald turns and stays at other end, drops bat and eventually runs but beaten by the throw
Match tied. Both teams scored 213 all out.
