New Zealand thrash England by 10 wickets

England lost the second ODI to New Zealand and hence needed to win the remaining 3 matches to win the cup. The match was totally an one sided affair in the rain affected match. England, from a very good situation fell cheaply primarily because of good bowling from the Kiwis. England were all out for 158 which is very bad considering the position they were in. In reply, the 2 dashing batsmen of New Zealand McCullum and Ryder both got into the act and proved a nemesis for the English bowlers. McCullum smashed 80 runs from 50 odd balls while Ryder too matched his senior opponent with 79 runs from the bat. With this match, I am sure that the English players morale would be low.
