New Zealand, who beat Zimbabwe by 98 runs, piled up 221 for eight in 50 overs after being put in to bat. Corey Anderson top scored with 82 that included four sixes and four boundaries.
In reply, Zimbabwe was all out for 123 in 42.4 overs after Tim Southee ripped through its batting line up, taking five wickets for 11 runs in8.4 overs. The only resistance came from Daniel Landman who made 51 in 72 balls.
In another one-sided match, Bangladesh made 260 for eight in 50 overs against Bermuda with the help of three half centuries, 84 in 95 balls by Nassir Hossain, 69 in 69 balls by Ashiqul Islam and 51 in 81 balls by Ashraful Hossain.
In reply, Bermuda was all out for 82 in 26.1 overs. Nine of Bermuda’s batsmen failed to reach the double figures with captain Rodney Trott top scoring at 20.
In another match, Sri Lanka defeated Nepal by 61 runs. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first, scoring 236 for nine in 50 overs. But Sachith Pathiram’s 62 in 60 and captain Ashan Subasinghe’s 46 in 83 balls steadied the innings.
Thisara Perera smashed 41 in 27 balls toward the end to ensure a total that proved too big for Nepal, which was all out for 175. Opener wicketkeeper Mahesh Chhetri made 39 in 69 balls but none of Nepal’s other batsmen managed to cross 25.
