Kenya v/s New Zealand (Group C) at St. Lucia
New Zealand 331/7 in 50 overs (R Taylor 85, C McMilliam 71,S Styris 63) beat Kenya 183/10 in 49.2 overs (RD Shah 71, T Odoyo 42) by 148 runs
Match home
NewZealand came into this match well aware about Kenya's ability to upset top teams at the World Cup. However, their middle order batsmen all got good runs which enabled them post a total that was ultimately way beyond Kenya's reach. With this victory, the Black Caps qualify for the Super 8's. McMillian played another belligerent knock, he seems to have taken his batting to Jayasuriya-esque levels since his return to the side for the Chappel-Hadlee series that preceded the World Cup. NZ overall looks in terrific shape, and they have their best chance of winning the world cup since 1992 when got pipped in the semis by a young player called Inzamam-ul-Haq.
As for Kenya, their tournament isn't over yet. The winner of the Kenya-England match will join the Kiwis in the super 8's from this group.
