In a significant moment during the World Cup 2023 clash between New Zealand and Bangladesh, Trent Boult reached a monumental milestone by claiming his 200th ODI wicket. The Kiwi pacer showcased his experience and skill, dismissing the promising Bangladeshi batsman, Towhid Hridoy, in a crucial phase of the game.
Boult’s delivery was a well-disguised knuckle-ball, pitched full just outside off. Towhid Hridoy, looking to assert himself, attempted to drive the ball on the rise. However, he couldn’t quite control the shot, sending the ball straight to the waiting hands of Mitchell Santner at cover. Santner, positioned perfectly, snatched the catch sharply, ending Towhid Hridoy’s innings prematurely.
The dismissal not only halted Hridoy’s budding innings but also marked a significant achievement for Boult, who celebrated his 200th wicket in the One-Day International format with a jubilant fist-pump.
