The title holders comfortably defended their total of 262-6 as Zimbabwe slumped to 171 all out.


However, the Zimbabweans could bounce back with their first win of the World Cup by sending Can- ada crashing to a 175-run defeat in Nagpur.


A third-wicket stand of 181 between Tatenda Taibu (98) and Craig Ervine (85) helped Zimbabwe to set their opponents a demanding target of 299. Zimbabwe dismissed the minnows for just 123 with eight overs remaining.


With Canadian victory under their belt, the African went on to give New Zealand a big boost in their hopes of qualifying from the Group after a 10-wicket loss in Motera.


The Black Caps dismissed Zimbabwe for just 162. Despite winning the toss and electing to bat first, Zimbabwe suffered a dreadful start as opener Charles Coventry was ran out by Hamish Bennett with a direct hit in just the seconds over.


The Zimbabwean bowlers provided very little resistance - their attempts at wicket-taking reduced to half-hearted appeals and one unsuccessful umpire review - with Guptill bringing up his half-century in 68 balls.
