New Zealand 190 (McCullum 45, Oram 35) beat India 180 for 9 (Gambhir 51, Sehwag 40, Vettori 4-20) by 10 runs
A masterclass of left-arm bowling from Daniel Vettori allowed New Zealand to soak up the pressure of a flying start by India to the run chase and script a fine 10-run win at the Wanderers.
Australia 124 for 1 (Hayden 73* , Gilchrist 43) beat Bangladesh 123 for 8 (Lee 3-27) by 9 wickets
England require another 98 runs with 7 wickets and 10.3 overs remaining
Stay tuned for highlights.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has won the toss and India will bowl. India have retained the same XI that won against Pakistan while New Zealand have brought in Jeetan Patel for Chris Martin.
India start off as favorites in their first Super Eights match against New Zealand at the Wanderers: India pulled off a nailbiter against Pakistan courtesy a bowl-out, while New Zealand were drubbed by Sri Lanka. In such a short format, though, momentum counts for little. Both teams will be aware of that, and also of trend of games at this ground. The conditions have been loaded in favour of the batsmen so far, while the team chasing has had much the better of the matches. Win the toss and field will probably be the mantra
Njoi....
