New Zealand made it four wins from four at the Cricket World Cup on Wednesday with a 149-run thrashing of Afghanistan who came crashing back down after their shock win over defending champions England.

The Black Caps scored 288-6 with Glenn Phillips, Tom Latham and Will Young all making half centuries as Afghanistan paid a heavy price for five dropped catches.


Rahmat Shah top scored for Afghanistan but his 36 runs occupied 62 balls before his team were dismissed for just 139 in 34.4 overs.
