Styris started the tournament with the man of the match award in a win over England at St Lucia. Chasing 210 for victory, Styris made an unbeaten 87 to guide his side home. His pugnacious batting style and distinctive gait led to former England captain Nasser Hussain referring to him as a "street fighter" from the commentary booth during the game.
He made another half century in the game against Kenya and made 80 not out in a successful run chase against the home side. In the Super Eight stage the New Zealanders played Sri Lanka and Styris top-scored with 111 not out. The century came off 152 balls.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Records/ODI/Overall/Batting/Slowest_Hundreds_by_Balls.html|title=TheMatch Home of CricketArchivescorecard}}</ref> It was his second ever World Cup century; he scored one in 2003.
