NZ vs SA
David Miller remained unbeaten on 100, supported by captain Temba Bavuma’s 56 and Rassie van der Dussen’s 69, but their efforts fell short as they chased down a challenging target.
Mitchell Santner was the standout bowler for New Zealand, claiming 3 wickets for 43 runs, while Glenn Phillips and Matt Henry both contributed with two wickets apiece.
Earlier, New Zealand have set a mammoth 363-run target for South Africa in the semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore. Centuries from Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson made sure that the Kiwis got a 350+ total on the scoreboard on the day. Despite of a good fielding diaplay by the South Africans, it was thebatters who stole the show in the 1st innings. Despite of losing opener Will Young early in the innings, it was Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra who stictched up a 164-run partnership that paved the way for a more than challenging total to come up on the board. While the two batters set up the stage for the Kiwis, it was Glenn Phillips' brilliant 49-run cameo on the day that fired them to a mamoth total of 362/6 in their 50 overs. New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bat against South Africa in the second semifinal of the Champions Trophy at The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today.
The winner of the contest will face India, who beat Australia in the first semifinal on Tuesday, in the summit clash in Dubai on Sunday. New Zealand 1st innings scorecard:
