New Zealand Thanks to the excellent batting of Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell in a match of ODI World Cup 2023 in Chennai. Bangladesh defeated by eight wickets.
New Zealand chose to field first in the 11th match of the World Cup at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.
Bangladesh scored 245 for nine thanks to Mushfiqur Rahman’s superb half-century, while Black Caps senior fast bowler Trent Boult completed 200 wickets, becoming the sixth Kiwi bowler to reach the milestone.
Mushfiq (66 runs), who scored a half-century against England three days ago, scored his 48th half-century in the ODI format today with the help of six fours and two sixes.
After losing the first four wickets for 56 runs, he put together a crucial 96-run partnership with captain Shakib Al Hasan (40 runs) and helped the team get back into the match.
Mushfiqu was eventually bowled by Matt Henry in an attempt to increase the run rate to a total of 175 after Shakib, suffering from cramps, was dismissed due to heat in the 30th over.
Mahmudullah, who came to play at number eight in Bangladesh’s innings, scored an unbeaten 41 runs.
Among the Kiwi bowlers, Lockie Ferguson took three wickets while Boult and Henry took two wickets each and Mitchell Santner and Richan Rondra took one wicket each.
