‘Today was a bad day to have a bad day,’ says Proteas coach Walter

Mar 6, 2025 | theherald.co.za | Stuart Hess |Akhtar Soomro

There was more anguish for Temba Bavuma and the Proteas in an ICC competition. Though conditions played their part in the outcome, the Proteas will look back at their Champions Trophy semifinal against New Zealand knowing that once again in a knockout match they contributed to their own demise.
SA suffer another knockout nightmare

Mar 5, 2025 | theherald.co.za | Stuart Hess |Akhtar Soomro

SA’s dreadful playoff record continued as they slumped to a 50-run defeat in Wednesday’s Champions Trophy semifinal against New Zealand. The Black Caps head to Dubai and a date with India in Sunday’s final, while the Proteas will take another flight home, with an ICC title eluding them for another year. It was a largely limp batting performance from Temba Bavuma’s men after a fielding display that lacked intent and bowling that was, by comparison with New Zealand’s, untidy.

Bavuma believes Proteas can exploit inexperienced Australian attack

South Africa's captain Temba Bavuma addresses the media in Rawalpindi. Though lacking the edge of a knockout fixture, Australia vs South Africa in an ICC tournament remains a captivating prospect, with the winner of Tuesday’s match almost certain to claim a playoff spot in the Champions Trophy.
