Bangladesh collected 245 runs against New Zealand in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India on Friday.
Mushfiqur Rahim got a gritty half-century which helped Bangladesh post 245/9 in 50 overs. The wicketkeeper-batter smacked 66 runs off 75 balls, packed with six fours and two sixes.
Meanwhile, Shakib Al Hasan slammed 40 off 51 balls, including three fours and two sixes. Mahmudullah gave his side a strong finish, playing an unbeaten knock of 41 off 49 balls, hitting two fours and two sixes in the process. For New Zealand, Lockie Ferguson took a three-wicket haul.Trent Boult and Matt Henry scalped two dismissals each.
New Zealand are chasing their third-consecutive victory in the World Cup this year. The return of Kane Williamson, their star captain, who has recovered from an injury, comes as a significant boost for the Kiwi side.
Impressively, New Zealand has showcased their strength even in the absence of Williamson, securing comfortable wins over defending champions England and a strong 99-run victory against the Netherlands.
Bangladesh XI: Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, and Mustafizur Rahman.
New Zealand XI: Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson (c), Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, and Trent Boult.
