New Zealand Off to a Steady Start in Semi-final Clash Against South Africa

New Zealand has made a steady start in the 2nd Semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, reaching 29/0 in 5.3 overs after electing to bat first against South Africa. Will Young is leading the charge with 17 runs off 16 balls, while Rachin Ravindra is playing cautiously on 11 off 17 deliveries. The Proteas' bowlers, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen, are yet to make a breakthrough. With a solid foundation set, the Kiwis will look to accelerate in the middle overs to post a strong total.
