ICC World Cup 2023: An unassuming cricketer like most of his New Zealand teammates, Mitchell Santner has been the team's go-to bowler at the World Cup and will play his 100th ODI against Australia on Saturday with high expectations.

The 31-year-old left-arm spinner has claimed 12 wickets in five matches so far to be one behind Adam Zampa of Australia. Santner's ability to choke the runs and get regular wickets makes him a key asset on India's slow, turning pitches. His economy-rate of 4.25 is second only to India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah (3.80).
