Champions Trophy: South Africa head coach Rob Walter has insisted that his team are still evolving as a team, despite their 50-run defeat in the 2025 Champions Trophy semi-final to New Zealand at the Gaddafi Stadium.

South Africa were made to toil hard as New Zealand posted 362/6, the highest-ever score in the tournament's history. In reply, the Proteas could make 312/9 in their 50 overs, with Davi Miller making an unbeaten 67-ball century.

"We had guys contributing significantly with the bat. From a bowling point of view, I think our biggest development was our accuracy, and that's something that we've been working really hard on. Every game we play is a learning opportunity and we just keep trying to take the little lessons.
