Teams with most number of centuries in the Champions Trophy

#4. South Africa – 5

South Africa have scored five individual centuries at the Champions Trophy

Winners of the inaugural edition of the Champions Trophy in 1998, South Africa, have 5 centuries to their name. The first one of them came from Jacques Kallis in the semi-finals in 1998 against Sri Lanka in Dhaka.

South Africa’s next three tons at the Champions Trophy were scored by Herschelle Gibbs; the first two of which were scores of 116 against Kenya and India at the 2002 Champions Trophy. The latter knock was scored during the semi-finals and eventually went in vain as South Africa fell short by 10 runs.

Gibbs’s third ton came in the 2004 edition against West Indies at The Oval and this one also came in a losing cause as WI chased down South Africa’s 246 with seven balls to spare.

South Africa’s fifth Champions Trophy ton is also their highest individual score in the tournament, 141 runs, scored by Graeme Smith against England during the 2009 edition. However, Smith’s knock went in vain as England won the match by 22 runs and South Africa bowed out of the tournament.
