New Zealand beat South Africa by 50 runs in Champions Trophy semifinal to set up a summit clash against India, here on Wednesday. New Zealand scored a mammoth 362 for six after electing to bat, courtesy Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson's fluent centuries, and then restricted South Africa to 312 for 9 in 50 overs.
South Africa seemed to be on course in the initial part of their run chase but they stumbled later on, losing wickets in the middle overs, to eventually lose their way.
