SA VS NZ 2nd ODI highlights, Tri Nation Series: Kane Williamson trumped South African opener Matthew Breetzke's record-breaking debut ODI hundred and led New Zealand to the final with a six-wicket win on Monday. Williamson followed his Saturday's half century against Pakistan with an unbeaten 133 off 113 balls - his first ODI century since 2019 World Cup – and cruised New Zealand to 308/4 for its second successive win.

Breetzke had earlier become the first cricketer to score 150 in his maiden ODI appearance and guided an under-strength South Africa to 304-6 after New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won his second successive toss and elected to field.

Williamson and Devon Conway setup the run-chase with a solid second-wicket partnership of 187 runs against a weakened South African pace bowling attack. Williamson used his feet well against inexperienced bowlers and even experienced wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi also couldn't separate the pair on a flat wicket.

Williamson completed his second fastest century in ODIs off 72 balls with a single, but Conway missed out on his hundred when he fell for 97 while attempting the landmark with a square cut.

Conway made it to the playing XI after Rachin Ravindra got a blow on his forehand in the field during New Zealand's thumping 78-run win in the first match at the newly renovated Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday.

The left-hander fully capitalized on a missed stumping chance when he was on 36 and hit nine fours and a six before he was brilliantly caught at point by Senuran Muthusamy – one of the four debutants for South Africa.

New Zealand middle-order stuttered briefly when left-arm spinner Muthusamy got the wickets of Daryl Mitchell (10) and Tom Latham of successive balls with the latter falling for his second successive duck in the tournament.

Glenn Phillips (28 not out), whose maiden ODI century had romped New Zealand to a big win on Saturday against Pakistan, and Williamson then shared an unbroken 57-run stand to seal the match.

The tournament now moves to Karachi, one of the three venues upgraded for the Champions Trophy, with Wednesday's winner of South Africa vs. Pakistan match taking on New Zealand in the final on Friday. Karachi will also host Champions Trophy's opening game between Pakistan and New Zealand on Feb. 19.
