Mushfiqur Rahim's performance in the 2023 World Cup has been nothing short of spectacular. After a lackluster start in the first match against Afghanistan, where he failed to make a significant impact, Rahim made a resounding comeback in the second match, scoring a brilliant half-century against England. However, it was in the 11th match of the World Cup, a face-off between Bangladesh and New Zealand, that he truly left a mark.

In a match where Bangladesh had their backs against the wall due to a previous loss to England, Mushfiqur Rahim came to the crease with determination. The Kiwis made an early breakthrough by dismissing Litton Das with the very first ball, sending shockwaves through the Bangladesh camp. But Rahim and Shakib al Hasan, in a display of resilience, stood their ground and aimed to build a formidable total.

The moment that stole the show was in the 26th over when Mushfiqur Rahim unleashed a monstrous six against the Black Caps' Lockie Ferguson. Rahim displayed his prowess with a remarkable upper-cut, sending the ball soaring over deep backward point. This spectacular shot not only electrified the stadium but also marked his own personal achievement as he edged closer to his well-deserved half-century.

As of the time of writing, Bangladesh had reached 134/4 in 29 overs, a testament to Rahim's grit and his ability to anchor the innings.
