The Mitchell Santner-led New Zealand were bowled out for 205 in response to India's 250-run target. Player of the Match Varun Chakravarthy returned figures of 5/42 in 10 overs, bamboozling the Kiwis with his mystery spin.
The result meant the BlackCaps registered two wins and a loss to end second in Group A with four points. They will thus face the Proteas, who finished on top in Group B with five points, for a place in the Champions Trophy final.
Temba Bavuma's South Africa comprehensively beat Afghanistan and England and had one no result due to rain (against Australia) in the group phase. Both teams will be playing their respective first game of the tournament at the Gaddafi Stadium, though they locked horns in the preceding Pakistan ODI tri-series at this venue.
New Zealand had won that encounter by six wickets on February 10, before going on to win the tri-series. In the previous five clashes, the Kiwis have won three while Proteas emerged victors in two.
