New Zealand vs Kenya ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007
Group C, Match 4, NZ vs KEN: New Zealand beat Kenya by 148 runs
Mar 20, 2007
Ross Taylor hit a half-century before being struck down with a hamstring strain in New Zealand`s 331 for seven against Kenya in a World Cup Group C match on Tuesday.
Craig McMillan struck five sixes in his 71 to help the Kiwis post the highest World Cup total at this ground while Scott Styris, who hammered 87 not out in the win over England on Friday, was dropped twice but made 63 off 62 balls.
Oram, who replaced Styris did not live up to his reputation of a hard hitter and perished for a paltry 3 runs to Odoyo.
New Zealand, who will qualify for the Super Eights with a victory, were put into bat on a slightly damp morning in front of a paltry crowd at the Beausejour Cricket Ground, which was later swelled by school children.
Reported Earlier: Kenyan captain Steve Tikolo won the toss and elected to field against New Zealand in St Lucia. Coach John Bracewell is so confident after the six-wicket win over England in their first group clash on Friday that he is happy to let all his players have a taste of World Cup action.
However, he is not taking victory for granted against 2003 semi-finalists Kenya, who overpowered Canada in their first match.
If Kenya shock England in the last group game on Saturday, the Africans will go through to the Super Eights so the Kiwis need to beat them to make sure of two points heading into the next stage.
New Zealand Team: L Vincent, S Fleming (c), R Taylor, S Styris, C McMillan, J Oram, B McCullum (wk), D Vettori, J Franklin, S Bond, M Mason
Kenya Team: M Ouma (wk), D Obuya, R Shah, S Tikolo (c), T Mishra, C Obuya, T Odoyo, J Kamande, L Onyango, P Ongondo, H Varaiya
Group C, Match 4: New Zealand 331 for 7 (50.0 overs) beat Kenya 183 all out (49.2 overs) by 148 runs
