Funniest Memes on New Zealand Finally Reaches the Champions Trophy Final After Beating South Africa

South Africa’s Unbeaten Streak Ends with a Costly Defeat

Williamson also made a strong impression by scoring the 15th century of his overall career, which also achieved 19,000 international runs. Both Daryl Mitchell (49) and Glenn Phillips (49*) Missed their half-centuries but made important contributions in guiding the BlackCaps to a formidable total of 362/6 in the first innings.

The South African chase started with Ryan Rickelton being removed for 17 off 12 balls, as the first breakthrough was provided by Matt Henry. After that, Rassie van der Dussen and Temba Bavuma took charge and reached their respective half-centuries. However, once both were dismissed, South Africa’s batting order faltered. Only the experienced David Miller played a crucial inning after the dismissal of Aiden Markram in the 33rd over.

The southpaw displayed excellent batting, but it came a little too late. The left-handed batter scored an unbeaten century off just 67 balls, reaching the milestone on the final delivery of the match. However, Bavuma & Co. fell 50 runs short of the target and were dismissed from the tournament. South Africa’s unbeaten run in the tournament came to an end with a disappointing loss.

Rachin Ravindra’s dominance in ICC events continues

Rachin’s masterful 101-ball innings confirmed that he had scored more centuries (5) in ICC ODI tournaments than several cricketing legends, including Sanath Jayasuriya, Brian Lara, Jacques Kallis, and Steve Waugh, among others.

South Africa let Mitchell Santner’s spin caused havoc

Santner’s misleading turn was found to be challenging to handle by South Africa. The well-prepared Bavuma and Van der Dussen were removed by him before the crucial wicket of Heinrich Klaasen, and his outstanding 10-over spell yielded figures of 3/43.

Another Knockout masterclass by David Miller

Whether in the semi-finals of the 2015 and 2023 Cricket World Cups or the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, David Miller has always played under pressure. This match was another showcase of his excellence. Unfortunately, like his past innings, this knock also ended in vain.

Temba Bavuma is leading the charge!    Hope he's got his AI-powered batting coach with him.   PublicAI could help with that! #NZvsSA ~ @Harsh798585IP
