Christchurch : In the opening match of ICC World Cup 2015, New Zealand had registered victory over Sri Lanka with 98 runs on Saturday.
New Zealand Batsmen Brendon McCullum and Corey Anderson had played a destructive batting the co—hosts hope will carry them to the title.
Sri Lanka sent New Zealand in to bat, but soon regretted that decision as McCullum made 65 from 49 balls and shared a 111-run opening partnership with Martin Guptill which set up the victory.
Kane Williamson scored 57 to hold together the middle order and Anderson blasted 75 from 46 balls with eight fours as two sixes to lift New Zealand to 331-6.
