Matthew Breetzke Sets ODI Debut Record with 150 Against New Zealand

The 26-year-old South African opener surpassed a 47-year-old record in the tri-nation series, bolstering his case for a Champions Trophy spot.

Matthew Breetzke scored 150 runs off 148 balls in his ODI debut against New Zealand, breaking Desmond Haynes' 47-year-old record of 148 runs on ODI debut.
The South African batter became the fourth player from his country to score a century on ODI debut, reaching the milestone in 128 balls.
Breetzke's knock included 11 fours and five sixes, helping South Africa post a competitive total of 304-6 in the tri-nation series match at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium.
His performance has placed him in contention for South Africa's Champions Trophy squad, with the deadline for squad changes set for February 12.
South Africa fielded four debutants in the match, compensating for the absence of key players due to injuries or domestic T20 league commitments.
