NZ vs SA, ICC Champions Trophy Semifinal: New Zealand will take on India in the final of the Champions Trophy. David Miller slammed the joint-fastest century in an ICC knockout but his effort went in vain as South Africa lost by 50 runs in the semifinal in Lahore. Opting to bat, New Zealand have set a 363-run target for South Africa. Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson slammed twin tons while Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell hammered 49 each as New Zealand posted 362/6 in Lahore.
In the chase, Temba Bavuma and Rassie van Der Dussen put up a century stand. However, once the two were dismissed, South Africa lost quick wickets. Even as David Miller kept one end going, Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram could not help in the chase. In the end, South Africa could manage 312/9 in 50 overs.
