Kenya Vs New Zealand, Group C

To no one's surprise, New Zealand were able to beat Kenya easily. New Zealand made 331 batting first and the match was out of Kenya's reach. Kenya were all out for 183. New Zealand has to be feeling good about themselves. They have good depth and are well balanced. The only negative from their point of view are the injuries.

Styris and McMillan are in great form, Oram is destructive in the middle order, in Shane Bond, they have a genuine wicket taker, Vettori is a good spinner, and Fleming and Taylor at the top give them solidity. Coming off from 3 great victories against Australia, they are legitimate contenders for the world cup.
