New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson on Friday overtook former Kiwi captain Stephen Fleming to become country's highest-run scorer in ICC Cricket World Cup. Williamson reached this milestone during NZ's World Cup match against Pakistan at Bengaluru. In the match, Williamson smashed 95 in just 79 balls. His knock had 10 fours and two sixes and he batted at a strike rate of above 120. But he missed out on a century after being dismissed by Iftikhar Ahmed. In 25 matches and 24 innings, Williamson has scored 1,084 runs at an average of 63.76, with two centuries and five fifies. His best score is 148.
Pakistan tearaway Haris Rauf had a bitter-sweet ICC Cricket World Cup outing against New Zealand, as he reached a career milestone of 150 international wickets but also entered the record books for the wrong reasons. In what was a must-win match against the Kiwis, Rauf took one wicket for 85 runs in 10 overs at an economy rate of 8.5. He claimed the wicket of batting all-rounder Daryl Mitchell. In 99 matches, Rauf now has 150 international wickets at an average of over 24 and a strike rate of 21.31, with his best bowling figures reading 5/18.
Pakistan find themselves in a spot of bother at the Cricket World Cup 2023. They needed two big wins in their remaining matches to stand a chance of making it to the semi-finals, but with New Zealand batters clobbering a huge total, their chances look a lot more bleak. Pakistan entered the game against New Zealand with only three wins out of seven matches and were lurking in the bottom half of the table. The 1992 champions have struggled for consistency despite getting a good start and as it stands, their future in the tournament remains uncertain. New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra scored his third century of the tournament, backed by a terrific 95 off 79 balls from captain Kane Williamson. They finished with 401/6 in 50 overs, New Zealand's highest team total in the ODI World Cup.
South Africa take on India in their Cricket World Cup match on Sunday, November 5. The much-anticipated match-up will be staged at the renowned Eden Gardens in Kolkata and will commence at 2:00 PM IST. South Africa have won six out of their seven matches so far and are one win away from cementing a semi-final berth. Their only defeat came against the Netherlands where they lost by 38 runs. Talking about the Proteas' last match, they overcame New Zealand by a huge margin of 190 runs.
New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra continued his monumental run at the Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, smashing his third ton in the tournament, making him the Kiwi batter with most WC centuries. Ravindra accomplished this record in the World Cup match against Pakistan at Bengaluru. Ravindra smashed 108 in 94 balls with 15 fours and a six. His runs came at a strike rate of over 114. With this, Rachin has made three centuries in this World Cup itself, overtaking the likes of Glenn Turner (1975, two centuries), Kane Williamson (2019, two centuries) and Martin Guptill (2015, two centuries) to have the most centuries by a Kiwi batter in a single World Cup edition.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan trolled Pakistan, saying that the team needs a controversy to win a match. Vaughan comments came ahead of Pakistan's must-win game against New Zealand in the Cricket World Cup. Pakistan need to win both of their remaining games to have any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of the tournament. Vaughan took a dig at Pakistan, saying that he was 'worried' because "it's been too calm this last couple of days" in the lead up to the match against the Kiwis.
