Santner Hauer Williamson, Ravindras Match winner suggests before the Champions Trophy final

Dubai [UAE]March 7 (Ani): The New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner praised Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra for their outstanding achievements in the second semi -final against South Africa in Lahore. Their brilliant centuries, Williamsons 102 from 94 balls and Ravindras 108 off 101, have driven the black caps for an impressive total of 362/6 and prepared a commanding victory.

Santner spoke out on the final of the ICC Champions Trophy against India with reporters and expressed his admiration for the duo's approach to the fold.

“Kane played an extraordinary blow alongside Rachin. The intention she showed was excellent. With six runs per over over, it was quite comfortable, especially with the ramps and shovels they had executed,” Santner told the reporters.

“Rachin plays with great freedom and expresses his natural game, and it was pretty cool to see. Appearances like them definitely make our work a little easier,” he added.

Williamson was the highest run for the Kiwis in the history of the tournament and the first to cross the 19,000 international milestone for his nation.

It was Williamson's third in a row against South Africa in so many Odi -Ininnings and made him the first blow from New Zealand, who did the performance and the first player against Proteas.

On the other hand, the young southern pfote trembled down the spine of South African bowl. Rachin celebrated his fiveth century in Odis, and surprisingly, all of his landmarks in the format came in ICC tournaments.

Rachin's impact average of 67.00 ICC -odi tournaments is the highest in the pool of 80 batteries, with at least 750 runs being carried out in these tournaments. In his limited appearances, Rachin achieved 804 runs in 13 Innerings with two fifties and five hundred. (Ani)
