21:53 Local Time, 16:53 GMT, 22:23 IST: A clinical show from New Zealand today as they march into the finals of CT, 2025 with their confidence sky-high. A team that is known to operate under the radar has once again thrived in a knockout encounter. South Africa, on the other hand, have lost yet another semi-final in an ICC event. South Africa's association with knockout games in ICC events have given them a lot of bitter memories and today has been no different. The Kiwis won an important toss on a flat surface and their batters responded impressively to the decision. Centuries from Rachin and Williamson gave NZ a momentum boost and that is what is needed in crunch games. The South African bowlers had an off day and the oppositon capitalized. Cameos from Mitchell and Phillips at the death were icing on the cake for NZ. 363 was always going to a steep ask for the Proteas. After losing Rickelton quite early, Bavuma and Rassie steadied the ship somewhat but the former scored at a slow rate. The pressure kept mounting on SA and once their skipper departed, things opened up and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Santner extracted good purchase off the surface and broke the back of the run-chase with a 3-fer. Bracewell, Rachin and Phillips also got the ball to grip and took the game away from the oppostion by taking further wickets. Miller played an outstanding knock and struck a century but the game was already done and dusted. Stick around for the presentations

Rachin Ravindra | Player of the Match - It's always great to contribute to the team, an emphatic victory at the semi-final stage and it's very pleasing. I didn't start as well as I wanted, Marco (Jansen)and Lungi (Ngidi) bowled well, once I got going, partnerships with Young and Kane, it started working for me, partnerships with those two, going with the ebbs and flows of the game, the two helped me get going. We were thinking about 300, then Kane started accelerating, then GP, Daryl Mitchell, and the rest kicked on to take us past 350. It's important to think about what next, but it's all about celebrating the win today, Kane with another classy hundred. Once we go to Dubai, we'll switch back and think about the final

Congrats NZ for the win.

Congrats Miller for 100 btw. U tried ur best.

New Zealand have done it again. They make another ICC final. After Ravindra and Williamson set the game up with the bat, the bowlers took over on what was a belter of a pitch. Santner was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 43. Him getting Klaasen was arguably the moment that sealed the game. But before that, he got Bavuma for 56 and van der Dussen with arguably the ball of the match. One that angled in before turning away to beat the flick, from around the wicket no less. Bracewell held his end nicely. He was economical.
