Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf had a forgetful outing against New Zealand in the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 match on Saturday, November 4 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. He was taken to cleaners by the New Zealand batters during the match, turning out to be an expensive spell.
Haris Rauf conceded 85 runs in his spell, at an economy rate of 8.5. His only wicket in the innings was Daryl Mitchell. The Kiwi batter got bowled for 29 runs as Rauf bowled a full and wide off-cutter. Rauf conceded 10 boundaries and two sixes in the innings. He achieved several unwanted records during the course of the match.
The six hit by Glenn Philips off Haris Rauf was the 16th six conceded by the pacer in the ongoing tournament. He set a new record for conceding the most number of sixes in a single edition of the World Cup. Zimbabwe medium-pacer Tinashe Panyangara, held the record earlier, conceding 15 sixes during the 2015 edition.
