The 2025 Champions Trophy is building up to its climax, with the semi-finals set to take place over the next two days. Here are who the match officials are for the IND vs AUS and SA vs NZ knockout games.
The semi-final places were confirmed when the group stage was wrapped-up on Sunday (March 2), with India beating New Zealand to finish top of Group A. They face Australia - who finished second in Group B - in Dubai today (March 4), while South Africa will play New Zealand in the second semi-final tomorrow in Lahore.

The winners of those games will go on to contest the final on Sunday (March 9), which will either take place in Lahore or Dubai, depending on whether India qualify. Whoever takes home the trophy at the end of that game will be the first Champions Trophy winner for eight years.
However, every side who qualified for the semi-finals has won the tournament on at least one previous occasion, thus there will not be a new winner lifting the trophy.
