Chennai: Hamish Bennett led New Zealand’s 10-wicket victory over Kenya on Sunday, taking four quick wickets as the minnows capitulated for 69 – their lowest World Cup total and the fifth worst overall.
Tim Southee helped himself to three cheap wickets, while Jacob Oram also picked up three in three overs before Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum eased their side to an unchallenged win.
Guptill took the lead as New Zealand completed the formality of the chase in just eight overs, thrashing two enormous sixes and peppering the boundary almost at will in a 32-ball 39. McCullum chipped in with a rapid 26.
