Champions Trophy: Kane Williamson Wants New Zealand To Learn From India Defeat In Final

Kane Williamson stressed New Zealand must take lessons from their group-stage defeat by India when they meet again in the Champions Trophy final on Sunday. New Zealand cruised into the Dubai showdown with a convincing 50-run win over South Africa in their semi-final in Lahore as Williamson and Rachin Ravindra hit hundreds. The duo set up New Zealand's 362-6 -- the highest total in tournament history -- before Mitchell Santner (3-43) led an effective spin attack to restrict South Africa to 312-9.

South Africa Star Reignites 'Unfair Advantage' Row After Semifinal Loss: "Not Ideal..."

South Africa batsman David Miller said his team's hop to Dubai and back ahead of their Champions Trophy semi-final defeat to New Zealand in Lahore was "not ideal". The tangled scheduling of the event came into question as Australia and South Africa both had to fly to Dubai from Pakistan ahead of the semi-finals. South Africa were there for less than 24 hours before jetting back again without playing a game. Australia stayed and lost in the last four to India. The haphazard scheduling was a result of India playing all their games in Dubai after refusing to travel to tournament hosts Pakistan for political reasons.
