England’s Collapse Hands South Africa Semi-Final Spot in ICC Champions Trophy 2025

England vs South Africa 11th Match Highlights of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

England’s underwhelming Champions Trophy 2025 continued as they were bundled up for 179 runs in their innings, with South Africa looking put in significant performances. Let’s take a look at the England vs South Africa 11th Match Highlights of ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

England’s Troubles Continue

South Africa secured their spot in the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after bowling England out for just 179 runs in 39 overs. England’s total, the lowest of the 2025 tournament, ensured their elimination from the competition. The match saw early setbacks for England as they were reduced to 37/3 in the first seven overs, with Phil Salt, Jamie Smith, and Ben Duckett all dismissed cheaply. 

The middle order collapsed, with Harry Brook contributing just 19 and Joe Root 37, the latter undone by a brilliant ball from Wiaan Mulder. Liam Livingstone was stumped for 9, and Jamie Overton was caught by Lungi Ngidi for 11. Jofra Archer, batting with Jos Buttler, scored 25, but Buttler could only manage 21 before departing. Adil Rashid was the last man out, leaving South Africa in control. If South Africa win this they will  move to first in Group B, ensuring their semi-final qualification. Marco Jansen was the best bowler with 3 wickets and 39 runs in his 7 over stint. 

South Africa Finishes in Style

Even though Tristan Stubbs was dismissed for null in 5 balls, the batting squad had a balanced and slow chase which covered the total in 29 overs. After Ricleton being dismissed in 8 overs and leaving south africa for 47/2, Klassen and van der-Dussen put in significant performances to make sure that they chased the runs without any damage. 

Klassen’s 64 off 56 balls and  van der-Dussen 72* off 87 balls helped put South Africa to 174 after which Klassen was dismissed in 28th over. David Miller came on the pitch and finished the chase off by hitting a maximum straight down the ground. South Africa finished at 181/3 in 29 overs.
