SA v WI: Having seen off both pre-tournament favourites Australia and India, Chris Gayle's side face current favourites South Africa, and put them in to bat after winning the toss
South African captain Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis make hay while the sun shines on south London with a series of aggressive, postive cricketing strokes
Smith is out with his side scoring at about 10 an over, caught out by the change of pace to spin from Sulieman Benn but Herschelle Gibbs, in full boundary-hunting mode, replaces him
There are big shots from big hitters throughout the South African innings, 27 boundaries in total, including this belligerent pull from Mark Boucher
Though Albie Morkel is bowled the eight he scores comes from two boundaries and although the South African wickets star to tumble towards the end the men in green finish with 183 from their 20 overs
West Indies' response begins badly with teenager Wayne Parnell picking up the wickets of Andre Fletcher and big-hitter Gayle, who has been in superb form in the tournament
Lendl Simmons, the hero in the field against India on Friday, and Dwayne Bravo, the hero with the bat against the Indians, starts the fightback with some smart cover drives and leg cuts
Simmons eventually departs for 77, driving one down the throat of long-off, with Ramnaresh Sarwan and Kieron Pollard soon following, but the real worry is the halt in runs on the board
When Jerome Taylor gets a golden duck with the next ball - a ferocious yorker from Parnell - the young South African pace bowler's figures are 4-4 but he falls just short of international Twenty20's first five-wicket haul
Dale Steyn bags Denesh Ramdin's wicket (159-9) as the West Indies lose by 20 runs - and 19-year-old Parnell picks up the man-of-the-match award after his brilliant performance
New Zealand v Pakistan: Brendon McCullum spanks Mohammad Aamir's first over for 14 before Abdul Razzaq removes him in the next, leaving Aaron Redmond to battle on with Martin Guptill
Razzaq looks in good form, returning to the side to replace Yasir Arafat and accounting for Guptill. With Redmond gone, too, and Scott Styris only just making his ground, the Kiwis look desperate
Jacob Oram comes and goes for five while Styris falls shortly afterwards (22 from 29 balls, top score of the innings), magnificently caught by Shahid Afridi, over his shoulder, at pace, just short of the boundary rope
When Peter McGlashan is out lbw from the next ball, with Nathan McCullum and James Franklin soon following, all falling to the outstanding Umar Gul, New Zealand are staring at a dramatic collapse
Daniel Vettori is run out to end the innings, 99 all out from 18.3 overs, the lowest score of the tournament, with Kyle Mills' wicket giving Gul the first ever international Twenty20 five-wicket haul (3 O, 0 M, 6 R, 5 W)
Given the low total needed for victory Pakistan could take it relatively easy in their pursuit of victory but Shahzaib Hasan doesn't do 'easy'. Kamran Akmal can only find deep square leg and is out for 19 (from 14 balls)
Shahzaib helps himself to four fours and two sixes while guiding Pakistan on to 54-1, over halfway home, from six overs, but he is run out in the ninth over after pursuing a single that never was, 35 from 28 balls
Vettori bags the wickets of Abdul Razzaq and Shaoib Malik either side of Shahzaib's dismissal but steady batting from Afridi and Younus Khan takes Pakistan towards their victory total
Afridi is having a conservative innings by his standards, tickling the ball away for ones and twos but cannot resist a few pulls, picking up three fours, with his captain in support
Despite a tremendous and athletic fielding effort from New Zealand, Pakistan win by six wickets, with 6.5 overs to spare, and are finding form as the tournament progresses
