Hosts Kazakhstan crushed New Zealand in straight sets on the second day of the Asia Pool B second round tournament of the 2010 FIVB Women's World Championships at the Palace of Sports here on Wednesday, and will next meet Uzbekistan to vie for top spot in the pool.
The host team was much too strong for the visitors, who were not able to mount any serious resistance against their rivals. The power service of Korinna Ishimtseva in the beginning of the first set allowed Kazakhstan to take an unbelievable 11-0 lead.
