New Zealand secured a comfortable victory over Bangladesh in their Cricket World Cup 2023 encounter in Chennai. Opting to bowl first, New Zealand's pace battery proved too hot for Bangladesh as they restricted them to a total of 245. In the chase, Devon Conway and Kane Williamson led the charge, guiding New Zealand to an eight-wicket win. The victory marks New Zealand's third consecutive win in the tournament. However, there is concern for New Zealand as captain Kane Williamson suffered a fractured thumb during the match, but the team expects him to be fit for the later stages of the tournament. Tom Blundell will travel to India as cover. Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka has also been ruled out of the Cricket World Cup due to a thigh injury sustained in a match against Pakistan.
