New Zealand’s Martin Guptill hit the highest ever score at a World Cup match on Saturday when he broke West Indian Chris Gayle’s previous mark of 215 set last month.
Guptill was on 217 and still batting late in New Zealand’s innings in the quarter-final against the West Indies at the Westpac Stadium.
Opener Guptill, who was dropped on four by Marlon Samuels, also broke his own record for the best ODI score by a New Zealander, which had stood at 189 and was set against England in 2013.
