The 28-year-old Guptill, who scored 105 in New Zealand's last pool match against Bangladesh, rewrote several records as he helped New Zealand to an imposing 393 for six at Wellington Regional Stadium in the fourth and last quarter-final.

Guptill became the highest individual scorer in a World Cup match, surpassing Chris Gayle's 215 from earlier in the tournament, and the first New Zealand batsman to score a ODI double century.
Boult then took four wickets as West Indies were forced to chase almost eight runs an over and while they went about hitting numerous boundaries they also lost wickets at regular intervals and were bowled out for 250 in 30.3 overs.
