NEW DELHI: New Zealand showcased their batting prowess as they piled up a formidable total of 401/6 against Pakistan in a high-stakes World Cup match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Rachin Ravindra, with a brilliant century, and Kane Williamson, who nearly reached a century on his return, were the architects of New Zealand's mammoth total.
New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first. Ravindra (108 off 94 balls) and Devon Conway (35) established a strong opening partnership of 68 runs. However, it was the 180-run stand for the second wicket between Ravindra and Williamson (95 off 79 balls) that provided New Zealand with a confident launching pad.
