Sent into bat, New Zealand posted an imposing 331 for six with captain
Brendon McCullum (65) and big-hitting Corey Anderson (75) smashing
boundary-laden half centuries to set the World Cup alight.
In-form Kane Williamson also chipped in with a useful 57 on a batting pitch at the Hagley Oval as the Black Caps hit the Lankan bowlers all over the park.

Mathew's decision to bowl first seemed correct as there was light rain
just after the toss and the start of the match was delayed by eight
minutes but it ultimately boomeranged as the home side batsmen made a
flying star and there was hardly any lull except a few overs midway into
the Kiwi innings.
