Trent Boult became New Zealand's top wicket-taker in a World Cup series with two early wickets in their semifinal against South Africa at Eden Park on Tuesday.
The dismissals lifted Boult to 21 wickets, the most by any bowler in this World Cup and one ahead of the previous New Zealand best of 20 set by Geoff Allott in 1999.

It was Boult who reduced South Africa to 31 for two after eight overs.
