New Zealand have nearly imploded on three occasions while batting second in the 2015 World Cup.
Seven...that is how many games New Zealand have played so far in World Cup 2015.
And the Kiwis have won each and every one of those games, before they line up against South Africa, come Tuesday's semi-final at Auckland.
Though only time will tell as to whether South Africa would (or would not) clip the high-flying Kiwis' wings, Brendon McCullum's side cannot be discounted at any cost, given current form.
But are there any weaknesses in this seemingly unstoppable Kiwi juggernaut?
There are three instances in the tournament, when the Kiwis almost threw away the game while batting second.
Freezed out?
The game against Scotland at Dunedin was when the fragility of New Zealand's batting first exposed, as they lost wickets in a flurry, while chasing a paltry target of 142.
Though there are absolutely no doubts over New Zealand's ability as a bowling outfit, it was the batting which raised concerns as they huffed and puffed to what should have been an easy win.
Even if Daniel Vettori (8*) and Adam Milne (1*) ensured that New Zealand were spared the blushes, the three-wicket win brought to light the team's ability (or lack of it) to chase under pressure, at least on challenging wickets.

The second instance was in the crunch game against Australia at Auckland, when the Kiwis once again capitulated under pressure and nearly threw away a hard earned win.
Australia who were shot out for 151 (thanks to Trent Boult's 5 for 27), almost snatched a memorable victory, as New Zealand crumbled in wake of Mitchell Starc's (6 for 28) equally fiery assault.
Despite the shortness of the Eden Park boundaries, they were left wanting against Starc's prodigious swing, as six batsmen departed for single digits.
While Kane Williamson's unbeaten 45 eventually did help them clinch a narrow one-wicket win, close scrutiny once again came upon their batsmen, who were found wanting against top quality pace bowling.

And the last instance was against Bangladesh at Hamilton, when the batting once again suffered in chase of a formidable 289.
Though Martin Guptill's 105 had set up things earlier, still Shakib Al Hasan's four-wicket haul almost had them on the mat.
Despite another batting stutter while chasing, New Zealand eventually closed out the game with three wickets and seven balls to spare, thus raising fresh concerns over their ability to close down games.

Coming to Tuesday's game, New Zealand will definitely have to plug holes in their batting armoury, to avoid a potential batting collapse.
Of course, toss will be of utmost importance, for if AB De Villiers does win it (and opt to bat first), then New Zealand will have all the pressure heaped on them while chasing.
Then again New Zealand have every chance in the world to put up a batting master class and trail blaze their way to a first ever World Cup final appearance.
But on the other hand if their batsmen wilt and crumble under pressure, then the 'chokers' tag may well and truly be passed over to the Kiwis..ironically from South Africa!
