NEW DELHI: The left-handed pair of Devon Conway (152 not out) and Rachin Ravindra (123 not out) slammed phenomenal centuries as New Zealand hammered champions England by nine wickets in the ODI World Cup opener in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
With the crushing win, the Kiwis extracted a sweet revenge of their World Cup final heartbreak four years ago as England's title defence got off to an alarming start.
The rematch of the extraordinary 2019 final got a very different result as the Blacks Caps thrashed England in a completely one-sided affair, riding on sublime Conway and Ravindra tons.
