World Cup 2015:Guptill’s heroics propel Kiwis into semis

Martin Guptill’s world cup record-shattering double century and Trent Boult’s four-wicket rampage eased  New Zealand  into the World Cup semi-finals as they trashed the West Indies by 143 runs earlier today.

Guptill, dropped on four by Marlon Samuels, finished on 237 not out, the highest individual score in World Cup history and the second largest one-day international innings of all time, as he led New Zealand to 393 for six in their 50 overs at Wellington Stadium.

Boult backed up the opening batsman’s feat by taking four for 44 to move to the top of the tournament wicket-takers list with 19 as the West Indies folded for 250 in the 31st over.

The kept up with the required run rate, reaching 200 in the 25th over, but by then they were already seven wickets down.

Chris Gayle, dispite his nagging back injury, hit 61 off 33 balls, including eight of the 31 sixes in the match as batsmen on both sides plundered the short boundaries.

New Zealand will now play South Africa in the first semi-final at Auckland’s Eden Park on Tuesday, with fellow co-hosts Australia facing defending champions India in Sydney two days later.

Guptill, chewed up the West Indies attack, hitting 24 fours and 11 sixes from 163 deliveries faced as he overtook the previous best World Cup score of 215 set by Gayle earlier in this tournament against Zimbabwe.

In all one-day internationals, Guptill’s unbeaten 237 is second only to Rohit Sharma’s 264 against Sri Lanka in Kolkata last year, and broke his own New Zealand record of 189 not out scored against England in 2013.

Following the fall of McCullum, Guptill featured in a 62-run partnership with Kane Williamson (33) and then added a significant 143 in 135 balls with Ross Taylor (42) for the third wicket.

In the closing charge, Guptill and Grant Elliott (27) took 19 balls to add a further 55, as New Zealand posted 153 runs in the final 10 overs to further deflate the West Indies after McCullum won the toss and opted to bat.

Jerome Taylor, who had Guptill dropped in this first over, returned the best figures for the West Indies with three for 71, while Andre Russell took two for 96.

The 36-year-old Vettori broke a dangerous looking Gayle-Samuels partnership when he launched his 1.91 metre (6ft 3in) frame into the air to save a six and pull off a remarkable one-handed catch on the boundary.

Adam Milne, like Southee and Boult, was also expensive but had the satisfaction of bowling Gayle.

Corey Anderson had Darren Sammy caught behind for 27, leaving the West Indies 166 for six, before Vettori and Southee stepped in to work their way through the stubborn tail.
