New Zealand v Sri Lanka

Wisden's review of the Pool A match, New Zealand v Sri Lanka

Fielding woes continue Sri Lankan distress

The downed catches are the cause of so much of their woe, but also, are a reflection of the confidence of a side, that has lost 12 out of 19 completed ODIs, plus two Tests, since mid-October

New Zealand draw strength from old and new

New Zealand drew strength from two players at opposite ends of their career - Corey Anderson and Daniel Vettori - as they saw off Sri Lanka at the start of the World Cup

McCullum sets the tone

New Zealand were not short on confidence coming into their World Cup opening game against Sri Lanka but to see Brendon McCullum take the game by the scruff of its neck was an uplifting experience

Big New Zealand win adds to hype
