In a thrilling encounter between England and Bangladesh in the ongoing World Cup 2023, the cricketing world witnessed a moment of pure brilliance as Chris Woakes delivered a peach of a delivery to dismiss Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The match had Bangladesh winning the toss and opting to bowl first, putting England in to bat. England managed to post a formidable total of 364 runs, setting a challenging target for the Tigers.

However, the real drama unfolded when Bangladesh came out to chase this mammoth target. Just when it seemed like they might be building a steady partnership, disaster struck in the 8th over as Chris Woakes, the English pacer, showcased his skill and experience.

Woakes, who had been looking for a breakthrough, finally got his moment of glory. He bowled a delivery that was nothing short of a beauty. It was a fuller-length delivery, pitched around off-stump, and it exhibited exquisite movement in the air. As the ball left his hand, it started to shape away from the batsman. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, one of Bangladesh's promising young talents, mustered the courage to drive it, but it proved to be his downfall, scoring 8 runs.


The ball kissed the outside edge of Mehidy's bat, creating a delicate but audible sound that resonated through the stadium. It was a sound that sent ripples of excitement through the English fielders and fans alike. Jos Buttler, alert and ready, swiftly reacted to the edge and dived to his right. The ball nestled safely in his gloves, confirming the wicket of Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
