New Zealand vs South Africa live stream: watch ICC Champions Trophy semi-final online (it's free)

A shot showing the flags of New Zealand and South Africa.

The second semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy, New Zealand vs South Africa is poised to be an all-action affair at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the fourth venue the Black Caps have played at in four games. They won the toss and have opted to bat first.

It's not exactly been plain-sailing for the Proteas either. They were forced to fly to Dubai immediately after their hammering of England, only to come straight back to Pakistan. Here's hoping the logistics haven't dulled the players' instincts, because Glenn Phillips, Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi have provided some of the tournament's outstanding moments in the field.

With their formidably varied bowling attack of Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Ngidi and Jansen, South Africa held their opponents to two of the three lowest totals of the group stage, while Heinrich Klaasen has now produced five consecutive ODI half-centuries.

Here's a quick guide to how to watch the New Zealand vs South Africa live stream from anywhere, for free.
