The third match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is currently underway at the National Stadium in Karachi between the Group B teams - Afghanistan and South Africa.
Rickelton has been in great form of late across all three formats of the game. He recently smashed a double century in Test cricket and had a brilliant outing in the recent edition of SA20.
He looked good in the middle while facing the Afghanistan bowlers and never looked under pressure. The wicketkeeper-batsman completed his fifty off 48 balls and then reached the three-figure milestone off 101 balls.
His innings ended in the 36th over in the most unfortunate fashion as he got run out. On the third ball of the over Rickleton shimmied down the track to play a flat delivery back to Rashid Khan.
Ryan Rickelton walked back to a standing ovation from the crowd after scoring 103 runs off 106 balls, with 7 fours and 1 six.

What happened in South Africa’s last ICC Champions Trophy match
Batting first, they got bowled out for 191 in 44.3 overs, losing eight wickets for just 51 runs after being in a solid position at 140/2. Then, the Men In Blue comfortably chased the target, with 72 balls to spare.
However, Ravichandran Ashwin removed Amla, and Ravindra Jadeja dismissed de Kock, triggering a collapse. Faf du Plessis (36 off 50) looked good in the middle but was involved in two run-outs—AB de Villiers (16 off 12) and David Miller (1 off 3). The back-to-back wickets shattered South Africa's momentum and put them under pressure.
While chasing the total, Rohit Sharma got out early but Shikhar Dhawan (78 off 83) and Virat Kohli (76* off 101) dominated the Proteas bowling attack. Imran Tahir and Morne Morkel picked up a wicket each, but the damage was already done, and India easily registered a win.
