Aaron Redmond hammered 63 from 30 deliveries to help New Zealand crush Ireland by 83 runs in the opening World Cup Super Eights match on Thursday.
Ireland, replying to New Zealand's 198 for five, never threatened to upset the Kiwis and were bowled out for just 115 in 16.4 overs.

Martin Guptill and Redmond kept the tempo going with a barrage of strokes on both sides of the wicket to torment the Irish players who had no clue how to stop the run flow.
