Mild-mannered Mitch Santner rarely hogs the limelight in the New Zealand team but the all-rounder has made a big noise at the World Cup, taking a screamer of a catch against Afghanistan and a milestone 100th ODI wicket.
Rohit Sharma is on the verge of adding a massive record to his already illustrious career as the Indian cricket team skipper can become the first batter from his country to hit 50 sixes in a calendar year. Right now, Rohit has 47 sixes and if he can hit 3 more sixes in the course of the Cricket World Cup 2023, he will be able to achieve the historic first. Overall, West Indies legend Chris Gayle and former South Africa star AB De Villiers are the only cricketers to achieve this feat. De Villiers tops the list with 58 sixes back in 2015 - a record that Rohit can potentially break considering the number of games left.
There are no "big teams" in the World Cup and upsets at the mega event happen when the conversation revolves around the more successful teams, star India batter Virat Kohli said on Wednesday.

India vs Bangladesh, Cricket World Cup 2023: India and Bangladesh are set face each other at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on October 18 in match No. 17 of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. Both sides enter the match with contrasting form, making hosts India as the favourites to emerge victorious. India surpassed the Pakistan challenge in their previous match by seven wickets in Ahmedabad. After restricting Pakistan to 191 runs in the first innings, Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer's half-centuries drove India to a victory comfortably. India are unbeaten in the tournament right now with three wins in three matches.
New Zealand once again proved why they are the team to beat in ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 as they delivered yet another clinical show with a huge win over Afghanistan. The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan came into the match with a lot of promise after their terrific win over defending champions England. But against 2019 edition's runner-up New Zealand, Afghanistan fizzled out in all three departments. Batting first, New Zealand notched 288/6 in 50 overs in Chennai with three batters - Tom Latham, Will Young and Glenn Phillips - scoring half-centuries.
India take on Bangladesh in their fourth match of ICC Cricket World Cup at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on Thursday, October 19. While India are unbeaten in the tournament with three wins on the trot, Bangladesh have lost their last two matches. India have outplayed all their opponents in the tournament so far, registering convincing wins in all three matches. After beating Australia in the opening match, they got the better of Afghanistan and Pakistan in the following matches.
New Zealand batter Tom Latham joined iconic Brendon McCullum for the highest number of fifties as a wicketkeeper for the Kiwis in the World Cup. Latham's measured knock played a crucial role in taking New Zealand's score to 288-6 during their clash against Afghanistan at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Latham struck 68 off 74 balls to push the Kiwis to a competitive total. This was the third time in his career he struck a score of more than 50 in the World Cup for New Zealand.
