LIVE New Zealand vs. Zimbabwe: Black Caps bowl out Rhodesians for 162
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 have bowled out Zimbabwe for 162 runs in a Group A fixture of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2011 being played at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 opted to bat first after winning the toss on a batting friendly track. They were off to a poor start as the top order failed to impress against some probing bowling by the Black Caps.
Senior Zimbabwe batsmen Charles Coventry and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tatenda-Taibu-c92882 were sent back to the pavilion through some quality pace bowling.
Chris Ervine, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Elton-Chigumbura-c55937 and Regis Chakabva were all undone quickly, while their most reliable batsman Brendon Taylor was dismissed for 44 runs from 57 balls.
Greg Lamb gave http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 good support scoring 18 runs off 34 balls.
The Black Caps kept applying pressure on their inexperienced opposition and made amends for their loss to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 with a much more concerted and disciplined effort on a good batting track.
Graeme Cremer and Ray Price took the score past the 150 mark with their respective partnerships with off spinning all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Prosper-Utseya-c82728.
Cremer and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Price-c82662 fell after looking set for some vital contributions. Cremer was sent packing by Kyle Mills after making 22 runs off 43 balls while Price was dismissed by Tim Southee for 11 runs.
Zimbabwe were eventually bowled out for 162 runs in 46.2 overs. Utseya was the last man dismissed as he made 36 runs off 65 balls. His knock included 3 fours as well.
For the Kiwis, Tim Southee was the wrecker in chief. The right-arm pacer made most of the conditions and the inexperience in the Zimbabwean ranks taking 3 wickets from 9.2 overs for 29 runs.
The other main wicket takers were http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mills-c76321 and skipper Daniel Vettori who both chipped in with 2 each.
