Team India and New Zealand have confirmed their place in the semi -finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Both teams are in excellent form, but New Zealand’s performance looks no less than a storm mail. The special thing is that the New Zealand batsmen have scored three centuries in just two matches of the tournament.
New Zealand’s historic performance: 3 centuries in 24 matches, now 3 centuries in 2 matches
It would be surprising to know that New Zealand had earlier participated in the Champions Trophy 8 times and played 24 matches, but then only three centuries. At the same time, three centuries were scored in two matches in the 2025 Champions Trophy.
