Day 2: Cricket match updates| summary| Video highlights online
Match 1:
Kenya 69 v New Zealand 72/0 (8 ov)
New Zealand won by 10 wickets (with 252 balls remaining)
New Zealand 72 for 0 (Guptill 39*, McCullum 26*) beat Kenya 69 (Bennett 4-16, Oram 3-2, Southee 3-13) by 10 wickets
Hamish Bennett led New Zealand's humiliation of a Kenya outfit clearly out of its depth, attacking the stumps with metronomic accuracy to rip out four quick wickets as the minnows capitulated for just 69 - their lowest World Cup total and the fifth worst overall. Tim Southee helped himself to three cheap wickets, while Jacob Oram also picked up three in three overs before Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum eased their side to an unchallenged 10-wicket win.
Match 2:
Sri Lanka 332/7 v Canada 122 (36.5 ov)
Sri Lanka won by 210 runs
Sri Lanka 332 for 7 (Jayawardene 100, Sangakkara 92) beat Canada 122 ( Cheema 37, Kulasekara 3-16)by 265 runs
For the many who slammed the ICC's decision to expel Associates from the next World Cup, this was a bad day. After Kenya were embarrassed by a modest New Zealand team, Canada desperately needed to showcase why minnow teams belong on the global stage. Instead they were overwhelmed by 210 runs against Sri Lanka, who opened their World Cup campaign as emphatically as their co-hosts India did on Saturday.
