Kiwis outplay Bangladesh by 6 wkts
Bangladesh made an inglorious but enthusiastic World Cup debut today as New Zealand cruised to a six-wicket win in their group B match at Chelmsford. New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming put Bangladesh on the back foot early by winning the toss and sending the ICC Trophy winners into bat. Bangladesh lost their first wicket without a run on the board in the first over and battled to 116 all out in the 38th over. For New Zealand, Geoff Allott, Chris Cairns and Gavin Larsen each snared three wickets.

A beaten and bruised Indian team retreated to their base at Leicester to lick their wounds and gear up for the battle on Wednesday against the lions from Zimbabwe. Hordes of supporters were at hand during nets Leicester on Monday morning, but the Indians know that another abysmal performance, like the one against South Africa, would just as soon see them desert the sinking ship.
