New Delhi: Hours after facing humiliation for his novice-like batting, New Zealand pacer Adam Milne returned the favour to Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim by removing the middle stump in their ICC Champions Trophy 2017 Group A match at Cardiff on Friday.
It happened in the 12th over of the Bangladesh innings. Rahim hit the third ball of the over for a four over the bowler’s head, But the Kiwi pacer responded in style, producing an unplayable delivery which pitched just outside off and cut back at a good pace to breach the defence.
Here’s the video:

Favourites New Zealand wasted a good opportunity to set a good total, and managed only 265 for eight.
Bangladesh, in response, were cruising along at 232/4 after 44 overs, with a 199-run stand between Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan in 32.2 overs.
It’s a must-win game for either side to stand a chance to qualify for the semi-finals, given England beat Australia tomorrow.
