Netherlands vs New Zealand Match Preview - ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
Following a dominant victory in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 inaugural match against the reigning champions England, New Zealand is poised to replicate their success when they face the Netherlands in Hyderabad this Monday.
In their previous game, New Zealand emphatically defeated England by nine wickets, as Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra effortlessly chased down a challenging target of 283 runs. Both batsmen scored centuries and remained not out, ensuring New Zealand's victory with 82 balls remaining.
This coming Monday, New Zealand will continue to miss the leadership of their captain Kane Williamson, who is sidelined due to an injury. Yet, the potential return of Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee, both of whom missed the last game, is expected. This may lead to Jimmy Neesham and Matt Henry being benched to accommodate them.
In contrast, the Netherlands put up a commendable performance against a strong Pakistani side, even though they fell short by 81 runs. Bas de Leede was the standout player for the Dutch, showcasing his prowess in both batting and bowling.
