New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra plays a shot during his team’s T20 World Cup group stage match against Canada at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India, last night. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGESNew Zealand blasted their way past Canada last night and into the Super Eight round at the T20 World Cup. But Canada gave them a poke in the eye before eventually crumbling with the ball and slumping to an eight-wicket loss. Phillips scorched 76 from 36 balls, while Ravindra quietly — hah — added 59 from 39. Bowling: J Singh 2.1-0-31-0, D Heyliger 4-0-42-1, S Bin Zafar 3-1-29-1, D Bajwa 2-0-26-0, A Patel 2-0-24-0, S Sharma 2-0-23-0.
