In an opening-day display as emphatic as any in previous World Cup, New Zealand mauled Sri Lanka by 98 runs at the Hagley Oval. A New Zealand win was the expected result leading up to the game, but perhaps not a win this massive, by a margin that highlighted the strength in depth in one camp as sharply as the shortcomings in the other.
Blazing half-centuries from Brendon McCullum and Corey Anderson and solid contributions from most of the other batsmen propelled New Zealand to a total of 331, and the bowlers showed both control and incision in its defence. This was best exemplified by the full, swinging missiles from Trent Boult that aborted the two most promising innings in Sri Lanka's chase.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
