FIFTIES FROM MITCHELL AND WILLIAMSON LEAD NEW ZEALAND TO EASY VICTORY

Scoring 246 runs was not an exceptionally challenging target; it could be considered somewhat uncertain. However, New Zealand comfortably won the match. Rachin Ravindra, who had been performing well, faced his first failure. Nevertheless, with Kane Williamson's return, New Zealand celebrated his neat half-century.

Williamson's calm and composed approach contrasted with the intense nature of the game. He didn't allow the pressure of a World Cup chase to affect him and maintained control, especially when Daryl Mitchell joined him at the crease.

Mitchell appeared flawless right from the moment he hit the first ball for a six, showing his aggressive intent and batting skill.

On the other hand, Bangladesh suffered their second defeat, having previously been beaten by England. New Zealand, too, easily outclassed them. It's worth noting that this was their sixth loss to New Zealand in as many World Cup encounters. Lockie Ferguson was declared player of the match.
