There's been a quiet level of respect between New Zealand and South Africa ahead of their semi-final clash in Auckland.
But that's not always the case, and 7 Days stars Ben Hurley and Urzila Carlson will go from colleagues to enemies this afternoon.
Both self-confessed cricket nuts, Hurley has supported the Black Caps through the thick and the thin, while South African-born Carlson has already got tickets to Sunday's World Cup final.
"I think [New Zealand's] bowlers are performing better as a unit than the South Africans, so hopefully we win the toss and bowl first and roll them," said Hurley.
Carlson joked about a South African World Cup victory so a movie can be made out of the story.
"It's about the economy of South Africa, so really if you don't want South Africa to win then you're not supporting a third world country, so you kind of have to," said Carlson.
