The semi-final line-up was completed today at the Men's Softball Intercontinental Cup in Prague as the round-robin phase came to an end.

Countries finishing in the top four at the Svoboda Ballpark in the Czech capital knew they would book a clash in the knock-out phase.

New Zealand, the world number one side, ensured they topped the pile as they thrashed hosts Czech Republic 7-0.

The Czechs have still qualified, however, going through in fourth place to set up a re-match with the Kiwis.
