An eight-wicket win at Hagley Oval was their second straight comfortable triumph, sealing a series win with one game remaining. Every bowler got amongst the wickets, the top order made runs, and only a slew of dropped chances ensured the Black Caps' win wasn't even more of a thrashing. Nobody has cashed in more from this series than Martin Guptill, the opener bringing up his second straight century with a brutal innings. Yet, there's still a nagging feeling of how much this series success means for the Black Caps' chances at the World Cup.
