New Zealand beat South Africa by 50 runs

Commentary

5:21 PM IST And then there were two! Six teams have bowed out, leaving India and New Zealand as the last ones standing in the battle for glory. For India, it’s a shot at redemption. Runners-up in the previous edition, they will play their third consecutive final, determined to go one step further. Meanwhile, the Kiwis return to the Champions Trophy final for the first time since 2009, eager to claim a second title. The grand finale will take place on Sunday, 9th March, at the Dubai International Stadium. The first ball of the final will be bowled at 9 am GMT, but our build-up will begin much earlier. Until then, take care and goodbye!
5:16 PM IST The captain of New Zealand, Mitchell Santner, says that it is a good feeling to make it to the final and acknowledges the challenge posed by a strong South African side. Mentions that they look forward to another clash against India, having already faced them earlier in the tournament. Santner highlights the solid foundation laid by Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson, which allowed them to accelerate in the death overs. He praises the finishers for executing their roles effectively and emphasises the importance of the bowlers consistently taking wickets. Reflecting on his own performance, he says that he is pleased to have claimed three scalps and adds that as a unit, it was important to keep plugging away at the wickets. Praises Glenn Phillips for his crucial two wickets and Rachin Ravindra for his valuable five-over spell, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Matt Henry’s ability to bowl due to soreness. Mentions that having played in Dubai and putting India under pressure has given the team confidence. Cheekily says that losing the toss in the final might not be a bad thing.
5:15 PM IST Temba Bavuma, the skipper of South Africa, says the target was above par and anything under 350 would've been better but on the batting front, they needed at least one or two batters to emulate what the top 4 did for New Zealand. Mentions David Miller did that but needed some support from the rest. States that the Kiwis put them under pressure and capitalized in the middle overs, and going into the death overs with wickets in hand was always going to be a difficult task for the bowlers. Appreciates the Kiwi batters who applied themselves well throughout the innings. On the partnership between himself and Rassie van der Dussen, he says they failed to build a big foundation and left way too much for the rest to go after. Concludes that they will have to win some key moments in the game and be decisive while not allowing the opposite to get back in the game.
5:25 PM IST Rachin Ravindra is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his impressive performance. To go with his 108-run knock earlier in the day, Rachin made an impact with the ball as well, claiming the prized scalp of Aiden Markram. He says that it always feels good to contribute to the team in a semi-final. Adds that he didn't get the start he wanted but once he got going, he found his mojo with Kane and stitched together a good partnership. States that he is pretty happy with the team’s overall performance. Mentions that he was thinking about the 300-run mark as the ball was holding a bit on the surface and the cutters were tough to play. States that he is happy that they got over 360 in the end. Further adds that they just want to soak this win and will reflect on the final in the upcoming couple of days.
5:01 PM IST Time for the presentation ceremony...
4:59 PM IST Earlier, New Zealand opted to bat first on a good batting surface, though slower balls gripped the wicket. Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson dictated terms with a commanding 164-run stand with both reaching well-crafted centuries. Their dismissals gave South Africa a window to claw back, but crucial knocks from Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips ensured New Zealand did not lose their way. With 83 runs coming off the last 6 overs, the Kiwis ended up with 362, the highest total in the tournament’s history.
5:27 PM IST Then came the game-changing double strike from Mitchell Santner, who first removed Rassie van der Dussen before sending Heinrich Klaasen back, leaving a big hole in the chase. New Zealand’s spinners tightened the noose and with wickets tumbling at the other end, David Miller was left all alone in the fight. Yes, he lost partners, but questions may be asked about whether the acceleration came too late. With nothing to lose, given Miller’s capabilities and New Zealand’s relatively weak death bowling, who knows what could have been had he gone harder earlier?
5:00 PM IST Ryan Rickelton began with a couple of delightful boundaries but fell to one that stopped in the surface. Temba Bavuma struggled early against a disciplined Kiwi new-ball attack but soon found his rhythm. Alongside Rassie van der Dussen, he stitched together a promising stand to keep the required run rate in check. Bavuma fell to his Kiwi counterpart, but Rassie kept the Proteas on track. At the halfway mark, the scores were identical at 143, though South Africa had lost an extra wicket.
5:26 PM IST The Kiwis soar into the final! They set up a date with destiny against India in Dubai, with their sights set on a second Champions Trophy title. For the Rainbow Nation, the wait for their pot of gold continues. After the disappointment of the 2023 ODI World Cup semifinal and the heartbreak of the 2024 T20 World Cup final, this defeat adds yet another chapter to their tale of what could have been. Chasing 363 was always going to be a daunting task, especially with the pitch not completely easing out under the lights and the occasional delivery still holding up in the surface.

OUT! LBW! GONE! A successful review for New Zealand and they inch closer to a place in the final. Glenn Phillips bowls it on a nagging length, around off and middle, turning into the right-hander, Marco Jansen switches his stance and looks to reverse sweep it. He gets beaten on the inside edge and gets hit on the front pad. The umpire turned down the appeal and they took a review. There is nothing on UltraEdge but the Ball Tracking shows that it is three reds with the ball hitting the leg stump. Marco Jansen will have to go back.

3:58 PM IST Is that out? There is an appeal for LBW but is given NOT OUT by the onfield umpire. Glenn Phillips seems interested and Mitchell Santner has decided to review it. A reverse sweep attempt by Marco Jansen and he misses to be hit on the front pad. The UltraEdge shows no spike. Oh wow, the Ball Tracking shows all three reds and the onfield call of NOT OUT is overturned to OUT! What a review this!

3:41 PM IST DRINKS BREAK! What was shaping up to be a tense chase at the halfway mark has tilted in New Zealand’s favour, thanks to crucial strikes from Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra. The Kiwis have been relentless since breaking the Bavuma-Rassie stand, chipping away at wickets and keeping things tight. With the required run rate creeping close to 11, South Africa now face an uphill battle to stay in the contest. With only Marco Jansen left as a capable big-hitter, David Miller must decide how long he can afford to take the game deep before going all out.

2:28 PM IST Drinks Break! Despite the early loss of Ryan Rickelton, South Africa have recovered well, stitching together a promising partnership. Temba Bavuma looks in good touch, while Rassie van der Dussen has settled in nicely. With the depth in the batting lineup, the Proteas are very much on track in this mammoth chase. However, they must maintain the required run rate while ensuring they don’t lose wickets, as any stutter could shift the pressure back on them. For New Zealand, the bowling hasn’t been poor, but they’ll need to tighten the screws and string together a few tight overs. With the scoreboard pressure looming, those crucial breakthroughs could turn the tide in their favour. A fascinating phase of play awaits. Mitchell Santner brings himself into the attack after the break.
