Champions Trophy: New Zealand have won the toss and elected to bat first against South Africa in the second semi-final of 2025 Champions Trophy at Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.

The winner of the match will face India in the title clash in Dubai on Sunday. It’s also the last game of this tournament to be staged in Pakistan. After winning the toss, New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner said his playing eleven is unchanged from their 44-run loss to India in Dubai.

“Looks like a good wicket, looks a bit dry. Privileged to captain my country and for us it's to play good cricket. Last game was foreign conditions, but we have played a few games here in the tri-series. Will try to play good cricket and put pressure on them,” he said.
