There is no going back from this stage. Both teams have shown a great deal of dominance so far. South Africa have been undefeated this season. They have dominated the opposition with bat and ball. South Africa have a strong bowling attack which is not letting the opposition get a start with the bat.
New Zealand also came up with an all-round attack. They have good spinners, and their pacers are doing a great job so far. The batting looked a bit rusty against India, but the surface in Lahore will be way better than it was in Dubai. However, this is going to be a great contest as both sides will come up with their best possible plans.

SA vs NZ Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
New Zealand have a slightly inexperienced pace attack. Only Matt Henry has played in such pressure games. But their spinners are doing great since they have landed in Pakistan. Batters had an off game against India, but they have a great caliber of scoring and chasing 300+ totals. South Africa have a fiery bowling unit, but their spin department is slightly weaker. But then, their batting unit is one of the best in the competition.
As per our analysis and game stats and recent matches and squads of these two teams, there is a high probability that South Africa might win this match.
Although the winner can be entirely attributed to the ground stats and its records, so as per the ground stats, the chances of the team batting second are high, so the batting-first team will likely win the Semi-final 2 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, with cricket’s unpredictable nature and New Zealand having a strong team, this match could go either way. So please analyse on your part and then invest.
