Brendon McCullum and Tim Southee led the way for New Zealand in a record
breaking display in front of an adoring crowd in Wellington yesterday
The Pool A clash between New Zealand and England was among the most anticipated games at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. New Zealand sealed an eight-wicket win on the back of remarkable batting and bowling performances. Tim Southee produced his best One-Day International bowling figures - and among the finest spells of swing bowling seen - while Brendon McCullum backed that up with the fastest World Cup fifty as New Zealand dominated the proceedings in Wellington.
Given below is a recap in numbers:
- England scored 19 runs less than Scotland did 3 days ago v New Zealand
- Brendon McCullum s/r 308.00 - 2nd highest of any ODI batsmen with 50+ runs (after AB deVilliers earlier this year)
