NEW Zealand roared into a T20 World Cup final against England or India after Finn Allen's stunning century crushed South Africa in Kolkata.

The Proteas cruised into their semifinal as favourites following a perfect run of seven straight wins at the tournament - including over the Black Caps in the group stage - but were roundly thrashed by nine wickets at Eden Gardens.

New Zealand kept their opponents to 169 for eight with a disciplined bowling performance and made the chase look like child's play.

A brutal opening stand of 117 in just nine overs ended the game as a contest and, while Tim Seifert departed for 58, Allen (pictured) pounded 100 not out from just 33 balls to finish the job with a remarkable 43 balls unused.
