RSA vs NZ Live Prediction

2025-03-05 20:58:56

South Africa Score Over 211.5 in 35 overs @ 1.85 (4RABET)

The Proteas need to score at 10 runs per over, with Miller and Markram out in the middle and spinners bowling from both ends, we predict South Africa to score over 211 runs in 35 overs.

2025-03-05 20:11:41

South Africa Score Over 145.5 in 25 Overs @ 1.85 (4RABET)

South Africa are off to a superb start scoring at 5.73 runs per over, but the required run rate has gone over 8.5, with Bavuma and Van der Dussen well set, we predict the Proteas to score over 145 runs in 25 overs.

2025-03-05 17:48:12

New Zealand Score Under 352.5 in 50 Overs @ 1.85 (4RABET)

WIth 6 overs to go, New Zealand score at the end of 44 overs is 279/4. We predict the South African bowlers to restrict the Kiwi to under 353 runs to close out the innings.

2025-03-05 16:28:41

New Zealand Score Over 178.5 in 30 Overs @ 1.85 (4RABET)

The duo of Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson are exploiting the gaps and finding boundaries at will. With both batters scoring freely and the South African not been able to create any sort of pressure, we predict another good scoring session for the Kiwis and predict their score to be over 178 runs at the end of 30 overs.

2025-03-05 15:38:38

New Zealand Score Over 109.5 in 20 Overs @ 1.85 (4RABET)

New Zealand are on the right track on a surface that has tested the South African with little to no swing on offer. Rachin Ravindra has gone about his innings with intent, while Williamson is just getting his eye in. With both batters in good touch, we predict the Kiwis will score over 109 runs at the end of 20 overs.

2025-03-05 15:00:32

New Zealand Score Over 55.5 in 10 Overs @ 1.90 (4RABET)

New Zealand are off to a good start scoring at 5 runs per over, both the openers have assessed the conditions well and will now look to accelerate in the last four overs of the powerplay. We back New Zealand to score over 55.5 runs at the end of 10 overs.

It is a big game in the ICC Champions Trophy, 2025. South Africa will be up against New Zealand in the tournament's 2nd Semifinal, and we expect both teams to fight hard to book a berth in the title decider. South Africa will be confident after their big win against England in their last league game. New Zealand must come out of their sub-par show against India, where they messed up with an easy run chase.   

The South Africans have enjoyed an unblemished record in this tournament. The batting lineup has done well, and the bowling attack looks good. It will make them confident in this contest. New Zealand lost the last game, and the batting lineup did not deliver the goods. The confidence would have taken a hit in the camp. It will be interesting to see how they can make a comeback.

South Africa Preview

Temba Bavuma's team has looked in good shape in both wins. They had to share the points with Australia in their other game and finished at the top of the points table in their group. They dominated the English side in the last match, ing a 7-wicket win. Bavuma would like his side to ride this momentum and book a berth in the next round with another victory.  

Ryan Rickelton is batting well in the tournament and will look to deliver a good start in this game with Aiden Markram. Bavuma must anchor the innings in the middle order, holding his wicket and add runs with in-form Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen. David Miller is a good finisher and will look to do well in the lower middle order with Wiaan Mulder and Marco Jansen.  

The bowling attack will feel confident after doing well in both wins. The teams need early strikes from Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen in this game, as the Kiwi top order has struggled against the new ball. After their good spell in the last game, Kagiso Rabada and Mulder will be confident. Markram and Keshav Maharaj will look to take advantage of the conditions and trouble the Kiwis.


SA Over/Under Betting Tips

Rassie van der Dussen Total Runs Over 32.5 1.87

Bet now

Van der Dussen scored 72* and 52 runs in the two matches played in the Champions Trophy so far. He has been the backbone of South Africa's middle order scoring runs consistently. Given his current form, we back Van der Dussen to take full toll of the inexperienced Kiwi fast bowling unit and also score runs on a good batting track.

South Africa Predicted Playing XI:

Temba Bavuma (c), Ryan Rickelton, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi

New Zealand Preview

Mitchell Santner and his team suffered their first loss in the last game. They went down against the Indians by 44 runs in a low-scoring contest where their batsmen struggled to rotate the strike. Santner would fancy his team's chances against the South Africans with a bowling attack well-suited for these conditions. The South Africans will come hard on them, and Santner would like his team to play to its potential in the game.  

Will Young and Rachin Ravindra struggled in the last game, and the team expects a better start in this contest. Kane Williamson's return to form is excellent news for the team, and he must build partnerships with Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell in the middle order. Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, and Mitchell Santner are good hitters and shall look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

The bowlers did a good job against the Indians in the last game. Matt Henry will be confident with his 5-wicket haul and must strike early in the game with Kyle Jamieson to put the South Africans under pressure. William O'Rourke and Santner must bowl crucial spells in the middle overs. Rachin Ravindra and Bracewell will enjoy the conditions and must bowl well in this game.


NZ Over/Under Betting Tips

Kane Williamson Total Runs Over 35.5 1.87

Bet now

Williamson scored a valiant half century (81 runs) against India. He seem to have regained his form after two low scores in the tournament. On a big stage in a crucial knockout game and at a venue where he averages 191 and scored 191 runs in 2 matches. We back Williamson to play an impactful knock and score over 35 runs.

New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:

Mitchell Santner (c), Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, William O'Rourke

Weather Conditions

We will have clear skies over Lahore. It will make batting easy on a flat track where batsmen can play their strokes freely. There won't be much on the surface for the fast bowlers, but spinners will enjoy bowling on this track. The average first-inning here in the tournament has been 316 runs, and the team batting first will aim for 330 on the board.

Img cricket stadium

Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, is known for being a batsman's paradise. The outfield is quick, which allows for easy run-scoring for the batsmen. Bowlers, especially the fast bowlers, have always found it challenging to bowl here. It is a good venue for the spinners, as the ball occasionally takes sharp turns.

South Africa to win the coin toss 1.95

Bet now

We back South Africa to win the coin toss in the second semi-final of ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Total Match Score Over 580.5 1.80

Bet now

The average total match score in last two completed ODI's at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is 675. The surface at Lahore offers assistance to the batters with a little bit of grass and a flat track. Both batting units are in good form and we predict a high scoring affair.

Toss: To Bat

It has been a flat surface at Lahore in all games, and the teams will fancy putting up a big total on the board. There are no demons on this track for the batsmen and they can score freely. Hence, the team winning the toss won't hesitate to bat first.

New Zealand will be low on confidence after losing the last game. It was in the bag, but the side went too defensive during the run chase and lost its advantage. Their batsmen must play more aggressively in this game. South Africans have done everything right in this tournament and have more depth in their batting lineup. It will be a close game, but the South Africans will start with an edge.
