In the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, Australian opener David Warner showcased his batting brilliance once again as he powered a whirlwind fifty against New Zealand at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.
David Warner in red-hot form
Warner’s World Cup journey started on a somewhat rocky note, with scores of 41, 13, and 11 in his first three innings. However, the veteran opener found his form just at the right moment for his team. In the fourth match against Pakistan, he delivered a jaw-dropping performance, smashing an astonishing 163 runs while forging a record partnership of 259 runs alongside Mitchell Marsh.
He continued his stellar form with another brilliant knock, scoring 104 runs against the Netherlands. On Saturday, he put on a batting clinic against New Zealand alongside his opening partner Travis Head, leaving the Kiwi bowlers in awe at the HPCA Stadium.
David Warner once again shakes legs on Pushpa steps
David Warner achieved a remarkable feat by blasting a 28-ball fifty, while Head reached the milestone in just 25 deliveries. Warner appeared to be on track for his third consecutive century, a prospect eagerly awaited by fans who hoped to witness his iconic celebration inspired by the movie “Pushpa.”
However, Warner narrowly missed the century mark, departing after contributing 81 runs from 65 balls, including five boundaries and six powerful sixes. Despite falling short of a century, he treated the fans at the HPCA Stadium to a delightful moment by performing the famous “Pushpa” dance. As he neared the boundary, the DJ played the song from the movie, and Warner couldn’t resist joining in with the iconic dance step.

In the context of the game, Head played a pivotal role by smashing a century off just 65 balls, setting the stage for Australia to post a formidable total of 388 runs. The five-time world champions rebounded from a mid-innings slump to assert their dominance in the match. At the time of reporting, New Zealand had reached 120 for 2 after 17 overs in their chase. Warner’s extraordinary form and flair continue to be a significant asset for Australia in their quest for World Cup glory.
