New Zealand and South Africa meet in a crucial Champions Trophy semifinal in Lahore. Both teams have won this tournament once. New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, rely on Tom Latham's runs and Matt Henry's wickets.

New Zealand bring "positive emotions" on their return to Lahore for the Champions Trophy semi-final against South Africa after good results during the Pakistan tri-series, coach Gary Stead said on Tuesday.

The 44-run loss to India in their last group match notwithstanding, New Zealand will take confidence from their win over South Africa in the tri-series here last month.
