Williamson Guides New Zealand to Tri-Series Final

New Zealand's Kane Williamson has become the second-fastest cricketer to score 7,000 runs in One Day Internationals (ODIs), surpassing Virat Kohli, after achieving the milestone in 159 innings during a tri-nation series match against South Africa. Williamson's unbeaten 133 guided New Zealand to a six-wicket victory, securing their place in the series final. The match also saw South African debutant Matthew Breetzke score 150, the highest-ever ODI debut score. This victory is part of New Zealand's preparation for the upcoming Champions Trophy, with Williamson's form being pivotal. Meanwhile, South Africa is set to face Pakistan to decide the final opponent for New Zealand. Williamson's performance comes after a long injury spell, marking his first ODI century since 2019.
