How did Captain Kane Williamson's perfect plan sink in Sri Lanka?

New Zealand kicked off their World Cup campaign in superb style by beating their rival 10 times and placing only 16 goals in advance to qualify for the win.

A better way to start their quest for the Cup would have been unrealistic to imagine, the Black Caps enjoying a total win, a green box office and, frankly, a slight opposition then that they won their third win at wicket in the history of the World Cup.

While all of these factors have been beneficial, the Black Caps bowlers have barely set foot in the trap, taking advantage of their favorable circumstances with a dominant display of bowling couture. And to top it off, the Guided Press partnership formed by Martin Guptill and Colin Munro combined their larger booth, giving a potentially more useful boost to the Net Run Rate.

Weird question

It seemed that Sri Lanka was going to be lucky in the first match, Dimuth Karunaratne having a huge chance.

He was early attacking the ball, but a shorter balloon was too close and he slightly touched the bottom of his heel, but did not dislodge the balls.

This is not the first time this World Cup has gone so far after South Africa's Quinton de Kock has traded the ball on his heels without the quails failing to dislodge.

The commentators were stunned by the weird moment.

Former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum reacted to what has happened.

"Trent Boult's last ball touched the stumps, not just a little bit," he said. "The off strain has come a long way and the bail has not worked – a bit of fortune."

Former England captain Nbader Hussain said it was happening much more often, accusing Zing Bails of being responsible for the problem.

"It's something that needs to be examined by Brendon," he said. "We have seen it in the IPL several times, we saw it during the England-South Africa match the other day." The lights flashed on this occasion, but not On this occasion I was just wondering if it was with the flashing Zinger lights if the sureties are heavier and it's not going to bowlers. "

Despite the problem, McCullum said that despite the potential risk of causing a problem, zing bails were perfect for cricket.

"I think we all agree that the lighting is outstanding," he said. "I think the crowd really appreciated and it's a very good addition to the international game and the game theater."

"Maybe our bowlers just need to play faster," joked Martin Guptill, the leader of the Black Caps, when asked about the subject.

"No, I do not really know it, it happened quite often, I've been to tournaments around the world where the bullets were eliminated, they did not stay empty, they were kept This happens quite regularly, I guess it's just one of those things, part of cricket. "

Attention to Warner

David Warner and Steve Smith have returned from their international cricket exiles to help Australia win a seven-goal win over Afghanistan in the first game of their World Cup title defense.

Warner scored an undefeated 89 as the Australians surpbaded 207 Afghan players with 15 goals to spare.

Smith was away for just 18 points before the win. Glenn Maxwell hit the next ball up to the limit to bring Australia up to 209-3.

Warner and Aaron Finch (66) found themselves at the top of the standings and shared a 96-point opening stand to begin the pursuit in Bristol after Australia brought Afghanistan back to 38. after a score of 38.2.

Warner and his ex-captain Smith were back after a 12-month ban imposed following the balloon falsification scandal in South Africa last March that rocked Australian cricket.

They combined their efforts into a 49-round partnership for the third one-stop shop to guide Australia to victory, both to withstand the hooters, jokes and crowd chants at the County Cricket Ground.

Earlier, Najibullah Zadran's stand with skipper Gulbadin Naib, who had 49 balls, half a century and 83 balls, had 6 plates.

The surprise dilemma of the Black Caps

If Gary Stead had selection headaches before the opening game of the World Cup Cricket Black Caps, he might have to take some extra panadols this week.

Matt Henry and Colin Munro instead played a leading role in the demolition of Sri Lanka by the 10-player wicket, taking full advantage of their chance to play after the injury of Tim Southee and Henry Nicholls.

After tight competition throughout the summer and World Cup warm-up matches, it was thought that Southee and Nicholls had taken a lead in the battles to open the bowling and the stick respectively in the United Kingdom. -United.

However, a right knee injury for Southee and a left knuckle problem for Nicholls allowed both players to be dismissed from the opening match. They could now fight to regain their place, Henry claiming three wickets while Munro was fighting for an undefeated 58 of 47 balls.

Henry had a double dose of good fortune, but really benefited. Getting the green light to start was one thing, but being able to head for a green window – with the support of a security cordon and a stellar outfit – would have been a dream scenario for the crimper.

He took the opportunity to claim a wicket with the second ball of the match, then his fifth to have captured the scalps of Kusal Perera and Kusal Mendis with consecutive deliveries.

A famous hat trick has escaped him, but the 3-29 numbers on seven outings are an excellent comeback, which will make it hard to argue for the clash against Bangladesh on Thursday morning.
