Champions Trophy: Ravindra And Williamson Smash Centuries, Take New Zealand To 362/6
For South Africa: Rachin Ravindra smashed his fifth ODI hundred and second of 2025 Champions Trophy, while Kane Williamson notched up his third century in a row against South Africa as the duo propelled New Zealand to a massive 362/6 in their 50 overs in the second semi-final at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.
Electing to bat first on a used pitch, Ravindra was all class in his knock of 108 off 101 balls, while adding 164 off 154 balls for the second wicket with Williamson, who made 102 off 94 deliveries. Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips both smashed quick knocks of 49 at the back end to help New Zealand post the highest total in the history of the Champions Trophy.
For South Africa, it was a hard day of relentless toil under bright sunshine, with Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj being taken for big runs. Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Wiaan Mulder were amongst the wickets, but gave away runs aplenty as South Africa will have to put an almighty effort in chasing a record 363.
