In the 11th World Cup 2023 match, New Zealand's Matt Henry proved to be the nemesis for Bangladesh as he took his second wicket of the day. This encounter came on the heels of Bangladesh's recent defeat against England, and they were eager to post a substantial score against the Blackcaps.

One shining star in the Bangladeshi innings was Mushfiqur Rahim, who managed to reach his half-century and appeared set for a longer stay at the crease. He faced 75 deliveries and had accumulated 66 runs.

The pivotal moment in the match arrived during the 36th over. Matt Henry had been persistently eyeing Rahim's wicket, as the Bangladeshi batsman had been launching significant shots. Henry's delivery turned out to be a dream for him, but a nightmare for Rahim. It was a slower ball off-cutter pitching on the off-stump, and it stayed surprisingly low. Rahim, attempting to play a pull shot, completely misjudged the delivery. As a result, he found himself sprawled on the ground, utterly deceived by the delivery's deceptive bounce.

The ball kept even lower than anticipated, leaving Mushfiqur Rahim with no chance. Disheartened and disappointed, the Bangladeshi batsman, who had looked so promising, had no choice but to depart the field.

At the time of writing, Bangladesh was struggling at 195/7 in 42 overs.
