Super Over to decide a tie

A Super Over will be played to determine the winner if a semifinal or the final of the Champions Trophy ends in a tie.
Section 21.10.2 of the ICC playing conditions for the Champions Trophy states: “If a semifinal is tied, the teams shall compete in a Super Over to determine which team progresses to the final. If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the match is a no result, then the Group winners shall progress to the Final.” If, similarly, the final is tied and weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the match is a no result, the teams will be declared joint winners.
Meanwhile, the ICC has announced the match officials for the semifinals.
England vs South Africa, The Oval: Kumar Dharmasena and Rod Tucker (on-field umpires), Bruce Oxenford (third umpire), Steve Davis (fourth umpire), Javagal Srinath (referee).
India vs Sri Lanka, Cardiff Wales Stadium: Richard Kettleborough and Aleem Dar (on-field umpires), Nigel Llong (third umpire), Ian Gould (fourth umpire), Chris Broad (referee).
