They may be on the other side of the world but that hasn't stopped the Crusaders from celebrating New Zealand's epic victory over South Africa in the ICC Cricket World Cup.

Currently in South Africa preparing for their Super Rugby clash with the Bulls, the Crusaders were glued to the radio as the Black Caps chased an unlikely win in the final over of their semi-final at Eden Park.

And just like the 40,000-odd fans on hand at the home of New Zealand rugby, the Crusaders went absolutely ballistic when batsman Grant Elliot swatted Proteas paceman Dale Steyn back over his head for the match-winning six.

Pandemonium ensued. Watch the video above to see the Crusaders celebrate!
