Matthew Breetzke made his ODI debut for South Africa with a stunning 150-run innings, but his efforts weren't enough to secure a victory against New Zealand in the Tri-Nations series.
South Africa's Matthew Breetzke celebrates after scoring a century during the Tri-Nation series second one-day international cricket match between New Zealand and South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on February 10, 2025.
The 26-year-old, however, has long been earmarked as one of the players for the future for South Africa and if his innings in the Tri-Nations match against the Kiwis is anything to go by, there’s plenty more knocks like this to come from Breetzke. "I definitely think that first hour was the hardest batting conditions all day,” said Breetzke afterwards.
