ODI Tri-Series: Kane Williamson Century Helps New Zealand Pip South Africa, Enter Final

Kane Williamson trumped South African opener Matthew Breetzke바카라™s record-breaking debut ODI hundred and led New Zealand to the tri-nation series final with a six-wicket win in Lahore on Monday (February 10, 2025). Williamson followed his Saturday바카라™s half-century against Pakistan with an unbeaten 133 off 113 balls -- his first ODI hundred since the 2019 World Cup 바카라“ and powered New Zealand to 308-4 for their second successive win. Breetzke had earlier became the first cricketer to score 150 in his maiden ODI appearance and guided an understrength South Africa to 304-6 after New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won his second straight toss and elected to field.
