South African batter Matthew Breetzke set a new record for the most runs on an ODI debut, scoring an impressive 150 in the second match of the tri-nation series at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

His knock helped South Africa post a total of 304 runs against New Zealand, with Wiaan Mulder (64) and Jason Smith (41) also contributing.

Breetzke's remarkable debut performance was a standout moment in the match, as he became the first player in ODI history to score 150 on debut.

New Zealand's bowlers, Matt Henry and Will O'Rourke, each took two wickets as they looked to chase down the target.

Earlier, New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 78 runs in the opening match of the tri-nation ODI series at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on Saturday. Pakistan, chasing 331, were bowled out for 252 in 47.5 overs.
