New Zealand set 359 runs target for Canada

In the on-going Group-A encounter of the ICC Cricket World Cup, New Zealand have posted a mammoth 358 for 6 against Canada at the Wankhade Stadium in Mumbai. Put into bat, Wicket-keeper cum Opener Brendon McCullum scored his maiden World Cup century with some exquisitely timed strokes giving the Kiwis a formidable platform. But it was the store-house of runs, Ross Taylor who entertained the crowd with his ferocious power-hitting as he amassed 74 of just 44 balls. Skipper today, Ross Taylor continued his prime form as her clobbered 5 sixes, four of which came in one over, along with 6 fours to give the black caps a massive total. Meanwhile, in the other Group-A encounter, the defending champions Australia have won the toss and elected to bat against Kenya at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
