New Zealand and South Africa meet in a crucial Champions Trophy semifinal in Lahore. Both teams have won this tournament once. New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, rely on Tom Latham's runs and Matt Henry's wickets.

While on-paper, South Africa look a formidable unit and have been the team to beat in recent ICC events, their overall form over the last one year or so doesn't inspire confidence as the Proteas have lost eight of their last 13 ODIs.

Varun Chakravarthy bagged his maiden five-wicket haul in just his second ODI match in the Group A match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday.
