In a gripping moment during the World Cup 2023 opener between England and New Zealand, bowler Mitch Santner showcased his skills, capturing the crucial wicket of Woakes. Santner\u2019s strategic brilliance was on full display as he cleverly lured the England batters with a mix of deceptive deliveries.
