A few changes, but the guys came in and did really well. Great for New Zealand cricket. For us, it's about them playing the roles they were given. Matt Henry hasn't had a lot of opportunities and he was brilliant. For us, it's about trying to keep it simple and play the way we've been playing over the last two years. We put some good numbers on the board," said Latham after the match concluded."It's a great honor and nice to learn as a captain. A big challenge coming up in a week's time and the boys are looking forward to celebrate tonight. It's a special occasion for us. The atmosphere here is amazing," he added.For New Zealand, Tom Latham and Ross Taylor remained unbeaten on 23 and 0 respectively as the side registered a comprehensive win over the hosts.
