On Wednesday, October 18, New Zealand extended their undefeated streak in the ICC World Cup 2023 tournament with a remarkable 149-run victory over Afghanistan.

The Kiwis have reclaimed the top spot in the points table, having won all four of their matches. Additionally, their players have shown growth in the individual leaderboard charts.

Mitchell Santner, the talented all-rounder, showcased his skills in the match against Afghanistan. He took three wickets for 39 runs and grabbed everyone's attention with a remarkable catch that could potentially be the catch of the tournament.

This catch resulted in the dismissal of Hashmatullah Shahidi. Santner has impressively claimed 11 wickets in only 4 innings during the tournament, allowing him to surpass Jasprit Bumrah and secure the top spot on the bowling chart.
