Boult's fifer earns him huge record

Although, New Zealand lost the third ODI match against England on Wednesday but their top-quality bowling attack gave them some reasons to cheer as it was their one of the superb bowling attacks led by Trent Boult who returned with five-wicket haul. New Zealand were handed 181-run defeat by England who had come out with exceptional performance to crush New Zealand to a huge defeat. England were emboldened by the fierce knock played by Ben Stokes who scored (182) runs to power England to a massive total of (368). England didn’t have early batting support after losing Bairstow and Root very early but Stokes became the rescuer for England with his fine innings. 

New Zealand had a lot to learn from their defeat as their batting show was quite miserable with all big guns failing to go on. It’s a massive setback for the Black Caps ahead of the ODI World Cup. Nonetheless, Trent Boult did quite well to create a fascinating record for himself by returning with five-wicket haul. With this accomplishment, Boult became the only New Zealand player with most five-wicket hauls in ODIs as he went past Sir Richard Hadlee to achieve this big record. Boult now has six ODI fifers while Richard Hadlee has five.
