“I congratulate him for a terrific career”: Kane Williamson wishes Aaron Finch well on ODI retirement after Chappell-Hadlee Trophy 2022

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has wished Aaron Finch on his ODI retirement after winning the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy 2022.

New Zealand came into the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy 2022 as the number 1 ranked ODI team, but their performance in the series was absolutely terrible. The batters of the side failed in all the matches, and that’s why New Zealand could not manage to win a single win in the series.

The bowlers of New Zealand were at their best very best in the series, but the batters could not respond them in the series. In the 3rd ODI match, New Zealand got the target of 268 runs, but they could manage to score just 242 runs and lost the match by 25 runs.
