| CLOSE OF PLAY |
| New Zealand complete an emphatic victory over Canada beating them by 114 runs. Canada got off to a flyer with 50 runs coming up in just 5 overs
with the Skipper John Davison going berserk. But once he was out things slowed down and Canada just tried to get a respectable total which ultimately happened with them scoring 249/9. Canada are on their way home while New Zealand are part of the Super 8's and will be the team to watch. Man of the Match is Lou Vincent for his excellent innings of 101. |
