    "editor1": "<p>Manchester, June 23 -&nbsp;New Zealand defeated West Indies by 5 runs in a World Cup round robin match here on Saturday. Asked to bat first, New Zealand posted 291\/8 in their 50 overs. In reply, West Indies were all out for 286 in 49 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nCarlos Brathwaite was the top scorer for the West Indies with 101 runs off 82 balls. West Indies had suffered an early setback when in-from opener Shai Hope was bowled by a Trent Boult scorcher in the third over.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut star opener Chris Gayle posted an uncharacteristically patient 87 off 84 balls while Shimron Hetmyer scored 54 off 45 as the Windies attempted a comeback.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nGayle and Hetmyer added 122 runs between them to bring the West Indies to a relatively comfortable position by the 22nd over. But as has been the case in all their matches, the West Indies started losing wickets at regular intervals from that point.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDespite Brathwaite&#39;s heroic century, the other West Indies batsmen came and went at the other end as the men from the Carribean islands eventually succumbed to yet another defeat.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBoult was the most successful among the Kiwi bowlers with figures of 4\/30. Fellow pcer Lockie Ferguson also bowled well for his 3\/59. Matt Henry, James Neesham and Colin de Grandhomme bagged a wicket each.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEarlier, West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell recorded his name in the history books as he removed both New Zealand openers -- Martin Guptill and Colin Munro -- for golden ducks in a dramatic first over.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIt was only the second time both openers in any World Cup had fallen for first-ball noughts, with Sri Lanka&#39;s Lahiru Thirimanne and Tillakaratne Dilshan collecting golden ducks against Afghanistan four years ago.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut they had fallen to two different bowlers -- Dawlat Zadran and Shapoor Zadran.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfter West Indies captain Jason Holder won the toss and put New Zealand to bat, left-arm quick Cottrell was on target first ball with a delivery that thudded into the pads of Guptill.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nUmpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge initially said &quot;not out&quot; but the West Indies successfully reviewed the decision, with replays showing the ball had pitched in line and would have hit the leg stump.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nGuptill, who made a World Cup record 237 not out when New Zealand beat the West Indies in a 2015 quarter-final in Wellington, had to go and the Black Caps were none for one.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMisfielding by Carlos Brathwaite allowed New Zealand captain and new batsman Kane Williamson, fresh from his match-winning century against South Africa, to get off the mark with an all-run four.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWilliamson then cover-drove Cottrell for three off the fourth ball of the over to leave Colin Munro, his side&#39;s other opener on strike.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe too fell first ball, beaten completely by another yorker that smashed into his stumps.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor the second time in the over, Cottrell, still a serving member of the Jamaica Defence Forces, greeted a wicket with his trademark military salute.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRoss Taylor hit a three off the last ball of an extraordinary first over to leave New Zealand 10-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
