David Miller’s breathtaking unbeaten century (100* off 67 balls) proved futile as New Zealand secured a commanding 50-run victory over South Africa in the second semi-final of the ongoing Champions Trophy. Chasing a formidable target of 363, the Proteas fought hard but ultimately fell short, finishing at 312/9.

Earlier, twin centuries from Rachin Ravindra (108 off 101) and Kane Williamson (102 off 94) provided the perfect launchpad for New Zealand, allowing them to capitalise in the death overs. Glenn Phillips (49 off 27)* played a blistering cameo, while Daryl Mitchell (49 off 37) further bolstered the total, helping the Black Caps post a massive 362/6 on a flat Lahore surface after winning the toss and opting to bat.
