Kane Williamson's poor ICC ODI finals run continues

Dubai, Mar 9: New Zealand batter Kane Williamson's poor run in ICC ODI finals continued as he was dismissed for yet another poor score in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

During his short stay at the crease, Williamson could score just 11 runs in 14 balls, with a four against Mohammed Shami. However, he handed an easy catch to Kuldeep Yadav, becoming the third wicket of the match.

In three ICC ODI final appearances, Williamson has had an extremely poor record: 12 against Australia in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup finals in Melbourne, 30 against England in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 finals in London, and now just 11 runs against India at Dubai, which totals 53 runs in three innings.

Williamson, though, has a solid record in ICC finals across ODIs, Tests, and T20Is, with 239 runs in six innings across five matches at an average of 47.80, with a half-century each in the T20 World Cup final against Australia in 2021.

and the ICC World Test Championship final against India in the same year, with a best score of 85.
