Tri-Nation Series: Williamson’s First ODI Ton Since 2019 Tops Breetzke’s Historic Debut For SA
Nation ODI Series: New Zealand sealed their spot in the final of the Tri-Nation ODI Series with a comfortable six-wicket win against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium on Monday. After having already defeated hosts Pakistan in the first game, the Black Caps will turn their attention to the final game between Pakistan and South Africa to learn about their opponents in the final, which will be played in Karachi on February 14.
The decision to bowl first worked out for New Zealand despite a tough start to the game. Opener Matthew Breetzke (150) became the only player to reach the 150-run milestone on his ODI debut and the fourth South African to score a century in his first match.
Skipper Temba Bavuma (20) was the first to depart in the eighth over of the game. A short ball by Will O’Rourke saw the right-handed batter attempt a pull short which he nicked and was caught by wicketkeeper Tom Latham. Jason Smith (41) spent solid time at the crease while building a 93-run stand with Breetzke before throwing his wicket in hopes of completing a quick single.
