South Africa vs New Zealand
Sa vs nz playing 11: The second semi-final match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore with South Africa and New Zealand teams face to face. In this match, both teams would like to land with their strong playing XI. In the last match, the South African team could not get the services of their regular captain Temba Bavuma. Tony Jeechery also did not play the previous match against England on 1 March. Both players missed the previous match due to illness. However, after 3 days rest, now both players are expected to fit.
The playing of Temba Bavuma in the semi -finals against New Zealand seems to be almost fixed. Halanki Tony de Jorgy may have to sit out again. Heinrich Klassen, who returned to the last match in his last match, had performed brilliantly with the bat and scored a half -century. In such a situation, Klassen is expected to remain intact in the playing XI. At the same time, Triston Stabs may have to go out due to entry in Bavuma’s team.
Devon Conway may have a comeback
There is not much scope for change in the New Zealand team. The Devon Conway may return to the playing XI. If the name of Conway is included in 11 players, then Deril Mitchell may have to sit outside. Mitchell’s recent form has not been good. In the Champions Trophy 2025, he has got a chance to play 2 matches so far and he has flopped with the bat in both matches.
The squad of both teams is as follows
South Africa: Temba Bavuma (Captain), Tony de Jorgy, Rasi Van Der Dusen, Aden Markram, Heinrich Klassen, David Miller, Vian Mulder, Marco Yansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Tabrej Shamsi, Triston Stabs, Ryan Ricelton, Lungi Angidi, Corbin Bosha.
New Zealand: Kane Williamson, Mitchell Santner (Captain), Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Davon Conway, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Derryl Mitchell, William Oruk, Glen Philips, Rachin Rabindra, Nathan Smith, Will Young, Jacob Duffy, Kail Zaimison.
