New Zealand collected its fourth straight win to open the Cricket World Cup by beating Afghanistan by 149 runs on Wednesday after important half-centuries by Glenn Phillips and Tom Latham.
Phillips was the top scorer with 71 off 80 balls and put on 144 runs for the fifth wicket with Latham to rescue the Black Caps from a precarious 110-4 as they posted 288-6.
Rashid Khan entered into the attack and dismissed Daryl Mitchell for one, leaving New Zealand on 110-4 having lost three wickets for one run across nine deliveries. The partnership helped New Zealand across 250, an important milestone for a frail Afghanistan batting lineup to come. Wickets then fell at regular intervals, with Afghanistan unable to string together any partnerships except for Rahmat Shah and Azmatullah Omarzai putting on 54 runs for the fourth wicket off 70 balls. Shah's 36 off 62 balls was the highest individual score for Afghanistan.
