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.
