New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was handed a life by Bangladesh wicketkeeper during the latter’s chase of 245 runs. During the 12th over of New Zealand innings, Ross Taylor hit the ball towards mid-on and was eyeing a quick single. Williamson responded late to the call and found himself in danger at the striker’s end. When the throw from mid-on came in, Williamson was nowhere near the crease. Bangladesh vs New Zealand Cricket Score 9th ODI Match.

Fortunately for the Kiwi skipper, Mushfiqur while trying to collect ball dislodged the bails. The Bangladesh wicketkeeper still had time to uproot the stumps but he failed to and Williamson was safely in. TV replays then confirmed that the ball was actually on its way directly towards the stumps and had Mushfiqur stood behind the wickets, Williamson would have been out by a long way.

After Mushfiqur missed the chance, Williamson and Taylor steadied New Zealand innings with a good partnership. Mushfiqur’s big miss apparently caught everyone’s attention and it became a talking point on Twitter. There were some harsh reactions to Mushfiqur’s miss. Virat Kohli Dismissal Video: Quinton de Kock Takes a Brilliant Catch to Dismiss Indian Captain During IND vs SA ICC CWC 2019 Match.
