New Zealand and Australia played out what was arguably the match of the tournament so far at the 2015 Cricket World Cup, with the Black Caps getting the better of their fierce rivals by one wicket in a gripping encounter.
The two sides were terrible with the bat, but that was thanks to some inspired bowling performances. Trent Boult was superb with the ball for New Zealand to take five wickets, while Mitchell Starc gave Australia a real chance of victory late on with a blistering spell; he took six wickets in the match.
The second game of the day couldn’t have been more of a contrast, as India easily beat the United Arab Emirates in a hopelessly lopsided affair. The underdogs could only muster a total of 102 and the reigning champions rattled the runs off inside 19 overs with nine wickets to spare.
Here’s a look at how these matches impacted various individual classifications and a closer examination of some of the standout performances on an absorbing day of cricket.
