May 26 (CRICKETNMORE) - Taking the wicket of Virat Kohli with your third ball isn't a bad way to start a Cricket World Cup campaign. That's exactly what New Zealand all-rounder Colin De Gran

With Kane Williamson's side last in ODI action in mid-February against Bangladesh, the Zimbabwe-born star was pleased to get some time in the middle. 

"Just to play together finally as a unit, against a good team, made it a great hit-out," he said.

"I think it was just good to get on your feet for 50 overs, for most of us that was probably the main thing, working on our execution and adapting to conditions. 

"I'd like some time in the middle with the bat, to be honest. That's the best practice you can get. 

"I definitely want to bat out in the middle before we start the real deal."
