Tim Southee has his say on the opener's career graph (1:51)

5 Hundreds for Rachin Ravindra in ODIs, all in ICC tournaments: three in the 2023 World Cup and two in this Champions Trophy.

No one else has scored their first five ODI hundreds in ICC tournaments. Bangladesh's Mahmudullah made all his four ODI hundreds at ICC tournaments.

67.00 Ravindra's batting average in ICC ODI tournaments (World Cup and Champions Trophy) - 804 runs in 13 innings with two fifties and five hundreds. It is the highest average among 80 batters with a minimum of 750 runs in these tournaments.

362 for 6 New Zealand's total against South Africa is the highest by any team at the Champions Trophy, surpassing Australia's 356 for 5 against England, also in Lahore in this tournament. It is also New Zealand's highest against South Africa in ODIs. And only once have South Africa conceded a higher total in ICC ODI tournaments - 377 for 6 against Australia in the 2007 World Cup.

3 Number of totals in ODI knockouts, higher than New Zealand's 362 for 6. The highest is 397 for 4 by India against New Zealand in the 2023 ODI World Cup semi-final.

3 Hundreds for Kane Williamson in his last three ODI innings against South Africa. He is the first player to score a hat-trick of hundreds against South Africa in this format. Williamson had unbeaten hundreds in his previous two innings against them - 106 not out in the 2019 World Cup and 133* in the 2025 tri-series in Pakistan.

167.57 Williamson's strike rate in his last 37 balls in the Champions Trophy semi-final against South Africa. He scored 62 runs with seven fours and two sixes after striking at only 70.18 in his first 57 balls (40 runs with three fours).

65 Runs conceded by Keshav Maharaj in his ten overs, the most he has conceded in an ODI since his debut against England in 2017, when he gave away 72 runs.

65 Innings since New Zealand last had a century partnership for the opening wicket in ODIs - 106 between Martin Guptill and Henry Nicholls against India in February 2020.

New Zealand is one of three teams in men's ODIs without a century opening stand in this period - Canada (20 matches) and Jersey (5) being the others.

31.55 New Zealand's average opening partnership since their last century stand in ODIs, the lowest among the teams in the ongoing Champions Trophy, and the third-lowest among Full-Member teams.

7 Wickets for New Zealand's spinners on Wednesday, the joint-most they have picked up in a men's ODI, alongside the seven against Bangladesh in 2023. New Zealand bowled 28 overs of spin, while South Africa bowled only 14 overs of spin for zero wickets and an economy rate of 6.28.

The South Africa pacers collectively conceded 269 runs in the 36 overs they bowled, with all three specialist pacers going for 70-plus runs. New Zealand's pacers were also on the receiving end, conceding 7.68 runs an over in the 22 overs they bowled.

7 Number of wickets lost by South Africa between the 21st and 40th overs of their innings, during which they scored 116 runs. On the other hand, New Zealand lost only two in that period and scored 139 runs to set themselves up for a strong finish in the death overs.

Losing wickets regularly left South Africa with only two wickets in hand for the last ten overs, putting them well behind in the game, despite nearly matching New Zealand's total in the first 20 overs (113 for 1) by getting to 107 for 1.

67 Balls that David Miller needed for his hundred, the fastest by any batter at the Champions Trophy. The previous quickest was off 77 balls by Virender Sehwag in 2002 and Josh Inglis earlier this tournament, both against England.

With Miller being the third batter to smash a hundred on Wednesday, the New Zealand-South Africa match became the first at the Champions Trophy to feature three centurions.

96.43 Percentage of runs scored by Miller during the 56-run stand with Lungi Ngidi for the tenth wicket. Miller scored 54 runs of those, while Ngidi scored a single, and one more run came off a wide. Miller scored each of the last 54 runs in South Africa's innings, having faced 25 of their last 26 balls.
