Morgan grabbed the headlines for his power Hitting exploits yesterday and rightly so but this Williamson innings today is something else … Under immense pressure he has played an old school gem … What a player … What a Ton … #CWC19 #YorkshirePlayer

An innings from a genuine match winner! An innings under immense pressure from Kane Willamson, quality batting and so much for others to learn from. https://t.co/hA8jZKZ3Gj

Who’s the coolest of them all?
Kane Williamson is a champion.
Along with Dhoni the coolest head in world cricket. What a fantastic chase and a great victory for New Zealand #NZvSA pic.twitter.com/kARTNK9gKe— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) June 19, 2019
Kohli’s skills + Dhoni’s calm = Kane Williamson. What a guy! #NZvSA

Williamson’s six in the final over – which also took him to his hundred – brought back memories of the famous Grant Elliott shot in that epic 2015 World Cup semi-final.

One of the closely-contested games of the tournament. We are hoping for more, aren’t we?
Kane was main.
Top match and a great win for NZ. Most competitive match of the 25 games so far in the World Cup. #NZvSA pic.twitter.com/4pMR1Oxyra— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) June 19, 2019
Nail biter? Are we happy as cricket fans?

The defeat pretty much put South Africa out of contention for the semi-finals.
When a guy plays like that to single handedly win a game for their team with the bat, there’s not much you can say or do, well played Kane Williamson #NZvsSA #cwc19 #TaKane

Been asking for 100 from someone from the start… can’t win games with 60s and 50s.. Kane Williamson great composure under pressure..
— Herschelle Gibbs (@hershybru) June 19, 2019
Williamson did survive a few close calls though. South Africa didn’t review a caught-behind when he was in the 70s.
Why didn’t Kane Williamson walk #CWC19 #SAvsNZ pic.twitter.com/H3Cj6M4pGy

And the one thing Williamson perhaps missed.
