Guptil's double century helps Kiwis score 393/6
Wellington, New Zealand, Mar 21(IBNS) A tornado double ton by opener Martin Guptil propelled hosts New Zealand to a mammoth 393 for six against West Indies in the last quarter final match of the ICC World Cup tournament at the Westpac Stadium here on Saturday.
Guptil's unbeaten 237 came in 163 balls as he carried the team almost alone to a seemingly unassailable total even as skipper-opener Brendon Mccullum and Kane Williamson returned early to the pavilion scoring respectively 12 and 28.
Guptil, who built up a 243-run partnership with a supportive Ross Taylor, became the first Kiwi to score a double century in ODI.
For the Carribeans Jerome Taylor was the most successful bowler, who took three wickets giving away 71 runs.
