Champions Trophy: Great Feeling To Contribute To An Emphatic Semis Win, Says Ravindra
Rachin Ravindra: After top-scoring with 108 off 101 balls in New Zealand’s emphatic 50-run win over South Africa, which set up a meeting with India in the 2025 Champions Trophy final, Rachin Ravindra said it felt great that he was able to contribute to an emphatic semifinal victory.
At the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday, Ravindra notched up his fifth ODI century – all of them coming in ICC events and the second of this competition. He has now become the only men’s batter to score his first five ODI centuries in ICC tournaments, as New Zealand posted the highest score in the history of the Champions Trophy.
Ravindra, 25, also added 164 off 154 balls for the second wicket with Williamson, who made 102 off 94 deliveries, his 15th century in this format. “Great feeling to contribute to an emphatic win in a semifinal. I didn't start as well as I wanted. SA bowled well, but once we got going, it was nice to build partnerships with Kane and Young. It was nice to go with the ebbs and flows of one-day cricket.”
