Finn Allen's Record Century Powers New Zealand into T20 World Cup Final New Zealand has made it to the final of the ICC T20 World Cup after Finn Allen's incredible record-breaking century helped them defeat South Africa by 65 runs in a thrilling encounter at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Kiwis, who were already through to the semifinals, took advantage of the winner-takes-all situation and produced an outstanding performance with both bat and ball. Allen, just 24 years old, smashed a magnificent 133 off 72 balls, which included 12 fours and seven sixes, as New Zealand posted a massive 232 for four in their allotted 20 overs. His record-breaking century came off only 56 deliveries, surpassing Martin Guptill's previous best of 103 not out against West Indies at the same venue back in 2012. The Proteas, however, got off to a poor start as they lost opener Quinton de Kock early, and never really recovered from that setback. They were bowled out for 167 with four overs remaining, with left-arm spinner Adam Santner picking up three wickets for just 11 runs in his four-over spell. New Zealand's victory sets up an intriguing final showdown against either England or Pakistan, who will face off each other in the second semifinal later today. The Kiwis, meanwhile, are looking to win their first T20 World Cup title after finishing as runners-up twice previously.#England #Pakistan #Finn_Allen #Martin_Guptill #New_Zealand #Quinton_de_Kock #ICC_T20_World_Cup #Adam_Santner #Dubai_International_Cricket_Stadium
