• The historic win sees New Zealand qualify for their first-ever T20 World Cup final
• Social media users were divided between feelings of ecstasy and agony depending on who they were supporting

New Zealand beating England is a common headline - in rugby. Not in cricket. The two island nations clashed, with most people betting on England to sail through to the final.

However, New Zealand had other plans and snatched victory from England's grasp in a nail-biting match.

The historic win sees New Zealand qualify for their first-ever T20 World Cup final. New Zealand won by five wickets, the final score was England 166-4 and New Zealand 167 - 5.

And please don't call this as NZ punching above their weight etc, it would be a disservice to this team that is as good if not better than most. #ENGvNZ."

This was enough to defeat England who only managed to make 179 and lost eight wickets in the process.

Despite this impressive victory, it was not enough for South Africa who crashed out of the T20 World Cup. South Africa won four out of its five matches, a truly brutal exit.
