New Zealand qualified for the World Cup Super Eights thanks to a 148-run victory over Kenya in Group C on Tuesday.
Ross Taylor hit 85 but was struck down with a hamstring strain in New Zealand’s 331-7, the highest one-day international score at the Beausejour Stadium.
Kenya never got going in their rain-interrupted reply, slumping to 29-4 before being bowled out for 183 with four balls left. Lou Vincent was instrumental in two of three run outs.
The result also meant Canada, who play the Kiwis on Thursday, were definitely eliminated. Kenya face England in the last group game on Saturday to determine the other Super Eight qualifier. — Reuters
