SA vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match Semi-Final 2, ODI Champions Cup

Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for semi-final 2 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, to be played between SA vs NZ in Lahore.

The action moves to the second semi-final in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. After a cracking semi-final between India and Australia, where India won and qualified for the finals, the second knockout game will be played in Lahore.

South Africa are all set to lock horns with New Zealand in the second semi-final. This match will be played on Wednesday at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. This game will decide who will fly to Dubai for the final against India on Sunday, March 9.

South Africa topped Group B and have been undefeated so far. Meanwhile, New Zealand started the tournament with two wins before losing their last group match against India. That must have hurt their momentum a bit and they need to bounce back here.

SA vs NZ: Pitch Report

The surface in Lahore is very good for batting. As seen so far, the ball skids here and comes to the bat nicely. The bounce is good, and batters can play their shots trusting the bounce. There is not much for the bowlers in it, which makes it as good a chasing venue.
