 "Champions Trophy 2025 live streaming: Where to watch SA vs NZ semis live?")
New Zealand have posted an imposing target of 363 runs for South Africa in the semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Centuries from Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson ensured the Kiwis crossed the 350-run mark, putting up a formidable total. Despite a strong fielding effort from the South Africans, it was the New Zealand batters who dominated the first innings.
Although they lost opener Will Young early, the partnership between Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra, which yielded 164 runs, set the stage for a challenging total. As the two anchored the innings, a fiery cameo of 49 runs from Glenn Phillips helped propel New Zealand to 362/6 in their 50 overs.
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and chose to bat first in this crucial semi-final. The winner of this match will face India in the final, after India’s victory over Australia in the first semi-final on Tuesday.
