After all the tangled tables, New Zealand returns to its last preferred place in Pakistan when they face South Africa in the semi -finals of the Cricket Champions Cup in Lahore on Wednesday.

The complex scheduling of the tournament, especially at the end of the group, witnessed South Africa and Australia flying to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, knowing that it will have to return to Pakistan as soon as the semi -final match is confirmed after that. India played the last team match against New Zealand Sunday.

It was the journey line of the journey due to The Indian government refused to authorize its team to travel to Pakistan For political reasons. This International Cricket Council (ICC), the Pakistani Cricket Council and the Cricket Control Council in India have left without any other option except to go to a hybrid model and organize all India’s matches in Dubai, including the semi -finals and the final of March 9 if it is eligible.

How did South Africa deal with travel?

After India defeated New Zealand with 44 races, which means that Australia remained in Dubai in the semi -finals on Tuesday, South Africa returned to Pakistan. Protias Heinrich Klasen admitted that the short trip to Dubai was “not perfect”.

“We knew that there was a high possibility that we might have to fly up and down,” Kalaasen said. “It is not perfect for the bodies, but at least we had some time to go out, wander and explode and we have some gentle meat slice, to be fair.

“We knew that it would happen while it was part of the scheduling, so two teams had to do so, and unfortunately we were one of them.”

How did the New Zealand championship?

New Zealand and India were the only two teams in the eight teams that played all their three matches with rain in two games in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, while The final team match in Australia against Afghanistan has also ended without result When he left very heavy rains during the chase of Australia.

It has now passed around a month since New Zealand arrived in Pakistan and have happy memories of Gaddafi Stadium, where They overcame South Africa and Pakistan in a triple series Before the Champions Cup.

New Zealand is familiar with the slow nature of Wikitat in Lahore, which may not turn as much as it revolves in Dubai, where both Glenn Phillips and Ken Williamson have achieved horns in two high matches during this bombs.

But New Zealand will be cautious about the first bowling unit in South Africa, where Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen have not played in a triple series, but they could bother fighters in any field.

New Zealand has passed to two big wins Against the host of Pakistan in Karachi And against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi because they were not only clinical with bats and ball, but took some great hungry in this field. However, despite the superiority of all departments in Pakistan, their fighters seemed at risk against the spinning, as nine share of the Indian archers on Sunday fell.

How was the South African Champions Cup operating?

South Africa flattened both Afghanistan and England in the group’s games, but the team’s match against Australia was washed in Rawalpindi and a point of that game was sufficient for them to lead the group.

Just like New Zealand, first -class African beauty fighters are also rich in shape. The opening mixture led Ryan Ricclton the road with his hundred Audi’s excuse against Afghanistan in the opening match, while Classen returned from an elbow injury to destroy a quick half -century against England.

Protias will play the third consecutive knockout game in the ICC championship and hope that one of Last year’s loss of India in the World Cup T20 final In the Caribbean Sea.

“The nerves are slightly lower because we have a little larger experience in the semi -finals now,” Classen said. “We have had some bad luck here and there are two or two games that did not go on our way, but we were playing a good cricket game.

“They are the rewards we see now. Children keep more sidewalks at the biggest moments in the game.”

How will New Zealand respond to defeat by India?

Coach Gary Stad said on Tuesday that New Zealand brings “positive feelings” upon her return to Lahore after good results during the Triple series of Pakistan.

New Zealand defeated the team of different South Africa completely different by six share in Lahore three weeks ago, two days after its victory over Pakistan in the same place in the ODI warm -up operations.

“We are lucky. Sted told reporters in a video call:” We had some experience playing here in a triple series before the championship started already. “

“We have some experience on Earth and I think some positive feelings of retreat on our way we play here too.”

Although he lost to India on Dubai’s friendly share in Dubai, New Zealand was happy with how their three-fly attacks did Henry, Kyle Jameson and Will Orger to restrict South Asia to 249-9.

New Zealand has produced 300 total in each of its last victories in Lahore, and Stadium said that taking the share in the early and medium sums would be a key to prevent South Africa from beating.

He added: “We have not yet rejected the Earth to see whether we were on used share or not, but in general these share are good beating surfaces.”

“They don’t wear much.

He added: “South Africa is a very good side and we will have to play directly near our best to overcome them.”
