NZ Win By 50 Runs | South Africa vs New Zealand Highlights of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Semi-Final: David Miller's Century Goes in Vain As Mitchell Santner and Co Set Up Final With India

Century! Impressive striking from David Miller and he will think he should have started attacking a bit earlier. Completes his century in the last ball of the innings but New Zealand won't mind as they secured the win and a place in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final. It will be the repeat of the 2000 final which is the India vs New Zealand final. Sensational performance from Mitchell Santner, Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson for the kiwis. 

David Miller has stayed at one end as a lone warrior and kept fighting through despite wickets falling at the other end. As South Africa fight a lost battle, Miller completes his half-century. 

Out! The chase was over for South Africa and now it is nearing the official end. Kagiso Rabada was landing some good blows but this time he has hit a shorter one from Matt Henry straight into the hands of deep mid-wicket. New Zealand are elated as they have one foot in the final. Rabada c Phillips b Matt Henry 16(22).

Out!  Second wicket for Glenn Phillips and New Zealand are just two wickets away to reach the grand finale of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Talking about the wicket, Phillips bowled on the shorter side around the leg-stump. Keshav Maharaj tried a pull shot but only managed to glove it behind. Tom Latham moved to his left and took a sharp catch. Keshav Maharaj c Tom Latham b Glenn Phillips 1(4)

Out! First wicket of the match for Glenn Phillips, and New Zealand are on the verge of reaching the grand finale of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. They are just three wickets away. Marco Jansen departs after scoring three runs. It was a back-of-a-length delivery outside off, which turned in. Marco Jansen shaped to play the reverse sweep but missed and got struck on the front pad. The umpire didn't raise his finger, and New Zealand challenged the decision. Replays show three reds, and the ball crashes into the leg stump. Marco Jansen lbw b Glenn Phillips 3(7)

Out! Another one bites the dust! Michael Bracewell takes his first wicket of the match, and his 10-over spell is now completed. Wiaan Mulder departs after scoring eight runs off 13 deliveries. It was a length delivery on off-stump, and Mulder went for the slog sweep. However, the Proteas batter didn't time it well, and Rachin Ravindra took an easy catch at the deep square leg region. Wiaan Mulder c Rachin Ravindra b Michael Bracewell 8(13)

Out! Aiden Markram departs and South Africa is in big big trouble here. That's a soft dismissal!  Rachin Ravindra's ball turns and grips a bit and perhaps sticks on the surface. Markram checks his punch and ends up lobbing it straight to Ravindra. New Zealand are now way ahead in the game and South Africa will need a miracle. Markram c and b Ravindra 31(29).

Out! The big wicket falls and it is Heinrich Klaasen. New Zealand are elated here and they should be. They got the wicket of the man who could have paced this chase the best. It is Mitchell Santner again who nails the length which is not too short not too full and Klaasen tries to loft it only for Matt Henry to come in and take a good diving coach. Henry looked like have hurt is shoulder during the attempt which will be a worry for Santner and his boys. Klaasen c Matt Henry b Santner 3(7).

Out! Mitchell Santner you beauty. Gets it a little flatter without compromising the revs on it, Rassie van der Dussen defends forward but the ball turns enough to beat the outside edge and clean him up. Work of art there by Santner. New Zealand are ahead in the game now. van der Dussen b Santner 69(66).

Out! The captain gets trapped by Mitchell Santner who has been bowling beautifully. Temba Bavuma walks down the track as he needed to up the ante but Santner foxes him in flight and loopy release. Bavuma miscues it and Kane Williamson grabs a simple catch at point. Santner get the win here. Bavuma c Williamson b Santner 56(71).
