Men’s ODI WC: Santner Has Been Fantastic For Us, Hopefully Tomorrow Will Be No Different, Says Latham
ODI World Cup: In the lead-up to the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, many talked about the new-ball fast-bowlers will be topping the wicket-takers charts. But as the tournament approaches its half-way stage, it's New Zealand’s left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner who’s topping the charts with 11 scalps.
With an economy rate of 4.40 and a five-wicket haul, apart from recently becoming second left-arm spinner from his country after Daniel Vettori to take 100 ODI scalps, Santner has been a vital cog in New Zealand’s wheel of winning the middle-overs phase for him as both an attacker and stemmer of run-flow.
Santner is not a huge turner of the ball, but his strengths lie in subtle changes to pace and having an incredible control over the deliveries to build pressure and force a false shot from the batters. Ahead of the clash against India at Dharamshala on Sunday, a repeat of Santner’s fantastic performance in the competition is what the Blackcaps are wishing for.
