  "account": "Eden Park, located in Auckland, has a rich history of high-scoring one-day cricket matches. The highest successful ODI chase at the venue was achieved by New Zealand against Australia on February 18, 2007. New Zealand chased down a target of 337 with five wickets and 48.4 overs, scoring at an average rate of nearly seven runs per over. The key contributors to this chase were Ross Taylor, who scored 117 runs, and Craig McMillan, who added 52 runs, keeping the required rate under control. Grant Elliott sealed the chase with a six off the penultimate ball.\n\nAnother notable chase at Eden Park was the 2015 World Cup semi-final between New Zealand and South Africa. New Zealand reached 299 for 6 in 42.5 overs, thanks to a six off the penultimate ball by Grant Elliott, which secured their first World Cup final. This moment in World Cup history remains one of the most memorable endings in the tournament's history.",
