WATCH: Mohammed Shami’s exemplary Yorkers in quick succession to dismiss Matt Henry and Mitchell Santner
India’s star cricketer Mohammed Shami once again showed his lethal form in the ODI World Cup 2023 against New Zealand on October 22 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. Notably, the Black Caps had a wonderful start to the game; however, the right-arm pacer took a 5-wicket haul in his first game of the ODI World Cup 2023 and reduced New Zealand to just 273 runs in the given 50 overs.
The Gujarat Titans star’s best delivery came when he dismissed all-rounder Mitchell Santner and great bowler Matt Henry on consecutive deliveries during the play. The strong visiting sides posted 273 runs owing to flabbergasting performances from Daryll Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra in the game.
Notably, Mohammed Shami is playing his first game of the ODI World Cup 2023 on October 20, 2023. Shami wasn’t able to place himself in India’s starting lineup due to the solid form of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. The right-arm pacer got the nod as the replacement for Shardul Thakur in the game. India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s injury made his way into the squad along with Mumbai Indians star Suryakumar Yadav in the clash against New Zealand.

The 33-year-old cricketer also gets only one game in the Asia Cup 2023. Notably, the fast bowler played against the Shakib-Al-Hasan-led Bangladesh side, where the Men in Blue suffered a narrow 6-run loss in the final game of the Super Fours of the Asia Cup 2023. However, the Uttar Pradesh-born cricketer gets the chance to play in the recently concluded ODI Series against Australia. Notably, the great cricketer picked up a 5-wicket haul against Australia in the first ODI.
Speaking about the game here, Rohit Sharma won the toss and invited the Kiwis to bat first. Notably, after being sent to bat first, the visitors posted a decent total of 273 runs in the given 50 overs. Star batsman Rachin Ravindra piled up 75 runs, while great batsman Daryll Michell struck out the century as he got 130 runs from just 127 balls, featuring nine boundaries and five sixes that helped them post the massive total against host nation India.
