NEW ZEALAND BEAT WEST INDIES BY 143 RUNS
Holder finds Anderson in the deep and it’s all over folks. The West Indies captain, who had played a fine hand, tried to go out of the ground for six, but found nothing but the chest and arms of Corey.
New Zealand will play South Africa in the semi-final...
30th over: West Indies 250-9 (Holder 42, Benn 9)
Slower bouncer and Holder gives himself room and times the ball through midwicket. A checked bunt almost finds Corey Anderson running in from the leg side boundary, but it falls just in front of him. Benn on strike and nearly edges onto his stumps (four) before he golf swings over mid-on (four).
Bating power play to be taken...
29th over: West Indies 237-9 (Holder 37, Benn 1)
Holder thumps a pull shot that cannons off the advertising hoardings and more or less back to the pitch. Then he goes over the top for another four to midwicket. Against Adam Milne, no less... Another four over cover this time.
28th over: West Indies 221-9 (Holder 23)
Taylor goes and the last rites are being read...
WICKET! Taylor c Guptill b Southee (West Indies 221-9)
It looked like a bump ball, but Taylor managed to hit the ball, after its bounce, to Guptill at short midwicket.
27th over: West Indies 221-8 (Holder 23, Taylor 11)
A fairly Vettori over.
26th over: West Indies 217-8 (Holder 21, Taylor 9)
Russell goes first ball of Southee’s new spell before Jerome Taylor comes out and crunches an on drive for four. Glorious shot, which he follows up with a less controlled but equally effective thwack through midwicket. Southee then goes short to holder who rocks back and swivel pulls him into the stand for six!
WICKET! Russell b Southee 20 (West Indies 201-8)
Top of off stump, as Russell goes to hack. Gone...
25th over: West Indies 201-7 (Russell 20, Holder 14)
Holder skips down and plants Vettori back over his head for six. Fireworks expected of Russell but Vettori keeps him in check.
24th over: West Indies 191-7 (Russell 18, Holder 6)
Holder edges Anderson just wide of second slip for a four. Russell then gets on strike and hits a savage pull for six over midwicket. Anderson bowls wider and Russell just reaches for it and manages to clear the fence on the other side. Absurd.
