Guptill repays the faith, and then some

New Zealand's management believed in Martin Guptill's match-winning ability and stood by him through a nearly two-year period of rocky form. Even they couldn't have predicted he would vindicate them with a double-century in a World Cup quarter-final

21-Mar-2015•Andrew McGlashan in Wellington

The death overs dilemma

With the trend of teams saving their wickets for the end overs, the battle between New Zealand's bowlers and West Indies' big hitters may well shape the Wellington quarter-final
