			The first match of Group A saw [[Kenya cricket team\|Kenya]] taking on the [[New Zealand national cricket team\|New Zealand]]ers. Kenya won the toss and elected to bat first on a pitch which seemed to have a lot of runs. However, the New Zealanders started very well, restricting the Kenyans for runs throughout the first 6 overs. The pressure paid off as [[Tim Southee]] trapped [[Alex Obanda]] in front with the score at 16 after 7 overs. Fellow opener [[Seren Waters]] and [[Collins Obuya]] tried to rebuild but [[Hamish Bennett]] came into the attack and got Waters lbw to make the score 40/2. Bennett then ripped through the Kenyan batting and got 3 more wickets in double-quick time to reduce the Kenyans to 49/5. The shattered Kenyans then folded, with only [[Rakep Patel]] offering resistance with 16 not out as Southee and [[Jacob Oram]] finished off the tail to get Kenya all out for 69 in 23.5 overs.

			The New Zealand openers started off quickly in their small chase, with [[Martin Guptill]] doing most of the early scoring. [[Brendon McCullum]] was bowled off a free hit but got into his stride and finished off the game with two successive boundaries, as New Zealand reached their target in just eight overs without losing any wicket, to complete a ten-wicket win.

			England had to win the game to have any realistic chance of going through to the quarter-finals, and 243 all out looked like a difficult score to defend, especially with the poor fielding that had plagued England throughout the tournament. However, the West Indies collapsed to 225 all out, after a spectacular run out by Matt Prior.

==Location==
[[File:M A Chidambaram Stadium 56.JPG | thumb|220px | right|A match going on at the MAC stadium]]
The stadium is located at [[Chepauk]], a few hundred meters from [[Marina beach]] along the [[Bay of Bengal]]. The stadium can be accessed from Wallajah Road in the north, Babu Jagjivanram Road in the west and Pycrofts Road in the south. Adjacent to the east of the stadium is the [[Chepauk (Chennai MRTS)|Chepauk MRTS railway station]] which lies on the [[Chennai Beach]]—[[Velachery]] section of the [[Chennai MRTS]]. The [[Cooum river]] runs tangentially to the north side of the stadium.

Chepauk stadium is located across [[Chepauk Palace]], the official residence of the [[Nawab of Arcot]] from 1768 to 1855. The stadium site used to be part of the palace grounds of the Chepauk Palace. Three [[Indo Saracenic]] style pillars at the entrance of the stadium are the last remnants of the association with the erstwhile palace grounds. The pillars construction are dated back to the rule of [[Nawab]] [[Muhammed Ali Khan Wallajah]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Passing through the gates of history |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/passing-through-the-gates-of-history/articleshow/58232413.cms |website=Hindustan Times |access-date=20 February 2021}}</ref><ref name="chepaukhistory">{{cite web |title=Those Were The Days: The day Chepauk spun India into cricket history |url=https://www.dtnext.in/News/City/2019/10/20035127/1193060/Those-Were-The-Days-The-day-Chepauk-spun-India-into-.vpf |website=DT Next |date=20 October 2019 |access-date=20 February 2021}}</ref>
