This is New Zealand's sixth semi-final appearance in World Cups, which equals the record held by Australia and Pakistan. They've lost all five of their previous semi-finals.
It's only the fourth time two spinners have opened the bowling for a team in ODIs. Zimbabwe have done it twice, while New Zealand tried it against India when defending 103 in Chennai last year.
The 114-run stand between Jesse Ryder and Ross Taylor is the first century stand by them in eight innings. In seven previous innings they'd added only 102, with a highest of 49.
It's Jacob Oram's first haul of four or more wickets in an ODI in five and a half years. The last time he did so was in September 2005 against India, when he took 4 for 58 in Harare.
Ross Taylor became the 12th New Zealand batsman to score 3000 ODI runs. Among those 12, only Martin Crowe has a higher average than Taylor's 36.81.
