Proteas complete semi-final line-up

South Africans Andrew Hall and Graeme Smith starred to seal a nine-wicket win over England and an ICC World Cup semi-finals place.

Hall took five for 18, the tournament's best figures, to limit the English to 154 after they had been at a relatively buoyant 111 for three.

Smith then made an undefeated 89 as his side cantered to victory.

Andrew Strauss made 46, Paul Collingwood 30 and Ravi Bopara 27, but lost their last seven wickets for 43 runs and were all out with two overs to
spare.

The Proteas cruised to their target in 20 overs, led by their skipper who put on 85 for an opening stand alongside AB de Villiers (42).

The result finalises the four semi-finalists, with South Africa joining the BLACKACPS, title holders Australia and Sri Lanka.

At this stage, the BLACKCAPS will likely take on Sri Lanka in Jamaica on Wednesday 25 April (NZ time), with a South Africa - Australia re-match in St Lucia 24 hours later.
