LAHORE, Pakistan — Kane Williamson trumped South African opener Matthew Breetzke's record-breaking debut ODI hundred and led New Zealand to the tri-nation series final with a six-wicket win on Monday. Williamson followed his Saturday's half century against Pakistan with an unbeaten 133 off 113 balls and cruised New Zealand to 308-4 for its second successive win. The tournament is being served as build up for the Champions Trophy later this month. Breetzke had earlier became the first cricketer to score 150 in his maiden ODI appearance and guided an understrength South Africa to 304-6.
