SA vs NZ Dream11: Top 3 captaincy picks, semi-final 2, ODI Champions Cup 2025

The SA vs NZ semi-final 2 clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to be played on Wednesday in Lahore.

Only two games are left in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 before we see a team lifting the trophy donning white jackets. India have already qualified for the final after defeating Australia in the first semi-final on Tuesday in Dubai. Now the second finalists will be decided in the second semi-final, which will be played between South Africa and New Zealand on Wednesday.

This match will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Both teams will be eager to get a win here, as the losing team will have to leave the tournament empty-handed.

With both the teams having star-studded lineups, this clash becomes an important one for fans on fantasy cricket platforms as well. In this article, we will talk about three potential captaincy picks for the SA vs NZ game on Wednesday.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for SA v NZ, semi-final 2, ICC Champions Trophy 2025

1. Kane Williamson

When the pressure is high, you need someone who has delivered time and again. That is where Kane Williamson comes in. He holds the Kiwi batting together. He played a fighting knock against India and got into form at the right time.

His contribution will be crucial for the Black Caps. He is a bankable batter, which makes him a perfect choice to pick as captain of SA vs NZ Dream11 team.

2. Heinrich Klaasen

Heinrich Klaasen needs no introduction in this game. He is among the best power hitters in the current generation, which he showed with his 56-ball 64 against England. Klaasen is in great form and has four fifties in the last five innings he has batted (including SA20).

Klaasen in form is a beast, and being a wicket-keeper, he adds value for any Dream11 team. He can give points with the gloves as well. That is why he can be a right choice to make captain of your SA vs NZ Dream11 teams.

3. Marco Jansen

Both the teams have some quality all-rounders in their sides, but Marco Jansen comes with match-winning ability in both departments. He is among the top bowlers with wickets in the powerplay in the last couple of years.

He is also a powerful striker of the ball. That is another reason to make him captain of your SA vs NZ Dream11 teams. South Africa play with six specialist batters, which is why Jansen is an important factor in the batting order. His all-round skill set makes him an ideal captain pick for any fantasy cricket team. Not to forget, he is coming off a Man of the Match performance against England.
