South Africa have sealed their semifinal place at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after topping the Group B.

Marco Jansen South Africa have crushed both Afghanistan and England and shared one point each against Australia due to heavy rain helped them get the top spot of the table. Marco Jansen was the hero behind the last night's win over England as the tall paceman was impressive, claiming 3/39 off seven overs and restricting England to a below par total of 179 runs.

“I wouldn't say the mindset changes (heading into the semi-finals), it's just the occasion that's probably a bit more hyped up I guess,” he told the media after South Africa’s win over England.

“You try your processes, it's a fancy term, but for me it's just you have your steps or your guides that you go into every match and then basically in semi-finals you just try and do that extraordinarily well if that makes sense, whatever that is for you.”

Jansen said South Africa are in right track at this mega event from the word go.

"I think it was a good team performance all in all,” Jansen continued.

“As a bowling unit, I think we did the majority of what we wanted to do or what we planned out or set out to do. And then obviously the batters went out and did their job really nicely.”

Jansen provided some valuable insight of his bowling.

“I was hoping for some swing, but then obviously there wasn't too much in the air,” he said.

“There was a little bit of nip at the start and then once the ball got older there wasn't really much deviation from the wicket. For me it was just backing my options, which is probably hitting at a hard length and not early on the fuller side, rather on the shorter side.

“For us it's just all about going out and bowling with good intent because then if you bowl with good intent … you tend to have more energy on the ball and then things generally happen.
