NAIROBI, Oct 9 (Internet report): Paul Wiseman earned New Zealand sweet revenge over Zimbabwe today as he span the Kiwis through to a semi-final clash with Pakistan.

The 30-year-old off-spinner ripped out Zimbabwes middle order with figures of 4-45 the best In the tournament to date.

The Kiwis, who lost a one-day series 2-1 to Zimbabwe a fortnight ago. bowled tightly enough to make sure their 265-7 die highlight of which was man-of-the match RogerTwose's 85 - was comfortably sufficient.

Twose's resilient knock • his fourth half-century In as many Innings - came after he commit-

ted the "huge error" of running out captain Stephen Fleming.

But with the ball New Zealand made few elementary mistakes and the match was in their pocket from the moment Alistair Campbell was dismissed.

Campbell, who hit 96 and 99 no against New Zealand a fortnight ago. had seemed set to break Kiwi hearts once more as he made his way to 47 untroubled.

But the opener was cut off in his prime three runs short of his sixth 50 in ten Innings by the finger of Umpire Steve Bucknor, who adjudged him out lbw to Chris Harris.

The former Zimbabwe captain.

trapped a long way down, stayed for an age at his crease before trudging off in obvious displeasure.

His ill-advised departure was swiftly followed by that of Andy Flower, who neatly chipped a return catch to Wiseman off the leading edge.

Zimbabwe had to re-build, but the slide had started.

Grant Flower's inept reverse sweep and Guy Whittle’s suicidal mn out brought on defeat apace.

Stuart Carlisle did put his paltry one-day average to shame with his second International fifty, but there was to be no reprise, even with Kiwi first choice Ixiwlers Daniel Veil oil and Dion Nash sidelined. Chris Cairns, who aggravated a knee Injury In his Innings, managed just one over.

The crucial stand of New Zealand's innings was Twose's fifth-wicket partnership of 95 with Craig McMillan, who made a punchy 52 at a run a ball.

The pair took the Initiative after Twose left captain Fleming floundering mid-pitch and exposed to Guy WhittaH's direct hit from mld-wicket.
