Fleming hails batting display

New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming believes his side are perfecting their batting as they enter the Super Eight stage of the World Cup.

The Black Caps, who progressed from Group C ahead of England, battered 363 for five against minnows Canada at Beausejour to set up a comfortable 114-run victory.

"A couple of times now we have done some hard work at the top and been able to cash in at the end," said Fleming. "Each time we do it we are getting more comfortable with how it needs to be done."

Lou Vincent put two ducks behind him with his third one-day international hundred to lay the platform alongside Fleming (66).

"I had not enjoyed the start of the trip too much, sitting and watching the boys," said Vincent. "So it was nice to get some runs.

"When you have missed out a few times it's natural to feel like you are not very good.

"But the season I have had means there is a lot of confidence with my game at the moment, and I knew if I hung in there it would come good."
