London [UK], September 14 (ANI): New Zealand speedster Trent Boult on Wednesday surpassed legendary Kiwis all-rounder Richard Hadlee to register the most five-wicket hauls for his country in ODIs.

Boult accomplished this record during NZ's third ODI against England at The Oval. In the match, Boult was at his vintage best. He gave England two quick powerplay jolts and then did some damage in middle-order/lower-order as well. He ended with figures of 5/51 in 9.1 overs, getting scalps of Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Dawid Malan, Sam Curran and Gus Atkinson. Ben Stokes Registers Highest Score by an England Player in ODIs, Hits 182 to Achieve Feat During ENG vs NZ 3rd ODI 2023.
