New Zealand's left-arm pacer Trent Boult became the first Kiwi bowler to claim 50 wickets in the ICC World Cup 2023 following his economical spell against Sri Lanka on Thursday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis became his 50th victim in the ODI World Cup, that too in just 28 innings. Only Australia's Mitchell Starc (19) and former Sri Lanka speedster Lasith Malinga (25) have managed to claim 50 wickets in fewer innings than him.
