South Africa will take on New Zealand in the second semifinal of the 2025 Champions Trophy at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday, March 5. The Proteas finished first in Group B, with five points, while New Zealand ended second in Group A, with two wins and a defeat. The winner of the second semifinal will take on India in the 2025 Champions Trophy final in Dubai on March 9.

The Proteas began their campaign in the ICC event with a thumping 107-run win over Afghanistan in Karachi. Their much-hyped contest against Australia in Rawalpindi was a dampener as the game was abandoned without even the toss being held. In their third match, South Africa got the better of a hapless England by seven wickets at the National Stadium in Karachi.

New Zealand began their 2025 Champions Trophy campaign with a 60-run victory over hosts Pakistan in Karachi in the tournament opener. In their second match, they beat Bangladesh by five wickets in Rawalpindi. The Kiwis failed to secure the top spot in Group A as they went down to Team India by 44 runs in Dubai.
