Candy shines for New Zealand win over Pakistan



CUTTACK  - Rachel Candy's maiden five-wicket haul in international cricket set up New Zealand's seven-wicket victory against Pakistan in a Group B Women's World Cup game at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday. The win ensured the White Ferns a place in Super Six.Candy was the star of the day, forcing a breakthrough in each of her three spells to dismiss Pakistan for a paltry 104. Having been dismissed for 84, chasing Australia's total of 175, Pakistan adopted a cautious approach after choosing to bat first. The top order seemed to be concentrating more on occupying the crease rather than scoring runs.BRIEF SCORES:ENGLAND BEAT INDIA BY 32 RUNS:ENGLAND: 272-8 in 50 overs (Charlotte Edwards 109, Arran Brindle 37*, Sarah Taylor 35, Lydia Greenway 29, Katherine Brunt 21; Jhulan Goswami 2-50, Nagarajan Niranjana 2-56)INDIA: 240-9 in 50 overs (Harmanpreet Kaur 107*, Karuna Jain 56; Katherine Brunt 4-29, Danielle Wyatt 2-52)WEST INDIES BEAT SRI LANKA BY 209 RUNS:WEST INDIES: 368-8 in 50 overs (Stafanie Taylor 171, Deandra Dottin 50, Merissa Aguilleira 47*, Kyshona Knight 44, Kycia Knight 30; Shashikala Siriwardene 2-58, Sharina Ravikumar 2-69, Chamani Seneviratna 2-72)SRI LANKA: 159 all out in 40 overs (Deepika Rasangika 28, Prasadani Weerakkody 22; Shaquana Quintyne 3-32, Shanel Daley 2-35)AUSTRALIA BEAT SOUTH AFRICA BY THREE WICKETS:SOUTH AFRICA: 188-9 in 50 overs (Marizanne Kapp 61, Trisha Chetty 59, Shandre Fritz 24*; Ellyse Perry 3-35, Megan Schutt 2-42)AUSTRALIA: 190-7 in 45.4 overs (Rachael Haynes 83, Lisa Sthalekar 29, Jodie Fields 21, Erin Osborne 20*; Shabnim Ismail 4-41, Susan Benade 2-38)NEW ZEALAND BEAT PAKISTAN BY SEVEN WICKETS:PAKISTAN: 104 all out in 41.2 overs (Asmavia Iqbal 21, Bismah Maroof 20; Rachel Candy 5-19, Nicola Browne 2-12)NEW ZEALAND: 108-3 in 29.4 overs (Suzie Bates 65*, Katie Perkins 25*; Sana Mir 2-26)
