New Zealand (322/7) comprehensively defeated Netherlands (223 all out) by 99 runs in the 6th Match of ICC World Cup 2023

[Cricket Warrior]

The opening matches of their Cricket World Cup journeys saw contrasting outcomes for both teams. New Zealand, seeking redemption from their 2019 World Cup Final defeat, began their campaign with a resounding victory over England in Ahmedabad. On the other hand, the Netherlands faced a considerable setback in their match against Pakistan in Hyderabad.

Despite falling short against Pakistan, the Dutch team can draw encouragement from their performance, particularly in their bowling and top-order batting. However, it is clear that they will need to significantly exceed expectations to pose a challenge to the formidable New Zealand side.

New Zealand, riding on their ruthless display against England, have received a further boost with the expected return of key players Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson. Unfortunately, Kane Williamson will be absent from the upcoming match as he continues to work on regaining full fitness.


When: October 9, 2023, 2:00 PM IST

Squads:

Netherlands Squad: Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards(w/c), Saqib Zulfiqar, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren, Ryan Klein, Shariz Ahmad, Wesley Barresi, Sybrand Engelbrecht

Netherlands already defeated WI in qualifiers, they are very much capable of challenging big teams.

I know they defeated wi in that 374 game. But I firmly believe just like Sri lanka didn't deserve to play qualifiers, neither did WI.

West indies isn't a great anymore but they do have some good players. What happened in the qualifiers, I don't know tbh, the same way nedtherlands beating south Africa was a surprise.

Also naw, NZ will cremate nedtherlands. I banked on NZ winning the 2023 wc along time ago

If NZ will get a traditional track of Hyderabad which we have seen during warm up games, so for sure 400 is on.

This time NZ looking well balanced, so bright chances that ur wish can come true

This is where the whole shamble lie for teams like West Indies. If a country where cricket is already dying don't get to participate in a world cup and are away from it for 8 years (considering they will make it to next), how would cricket survive there among the already limited fans?

West Indies tend to punch above its weight in international tournaments and usually does give a good fight, teams like West Indies still have a much better chance of winning more often in major tournaments against big teams than the minnows who almost are certain to lose in longer formats.

T20 WC is a perfect ground for minnows inclusion where upsets are likely and will motivate them further and spread the game. ODI where they could likely get huge margin beatings, how does that do any good for them to build is yet to be seen.

Zimbabwe once a good team has completely disappeared from the cricketing world picture.

 

[hassan918]

Expecting a big win for New Zealand who should be full of confidence after their thumping win against England.

 

[Nado_]

New Zealand to win but I predict Ned to do one of the big teams

 

[shamaan]

Netherlands will win

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Newzealand all the way, conway will eat NL bowlers alive.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fantasy league is the only reason this match will get some following.

 

[Saj]

It'll be interesting to see how other teams aporoach the Netherlands, as Pakistan nearly made a mess.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Nederlands had shown against Pakistan that they were the ones doing upsets in the past. So you can expect one more in this edition as well. Maybe they do it against England or South Africa again who knows? But I doubt that they have a chance against Kiwis.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Netherlands won the toss and chose to field

Teams:

Netherlands XI: Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (capt, wk), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Ryan Klein, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren

New Zealand XI: Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (capt, wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

 

[Swashbuckler]

New Zealand is probably the most upset proof team. Can't remember the last time they lost to a minnow in ICC tournaments.

Kenya in the 2003 World Cup.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Kenya in the 2003 World Cup.

They forfeited that game. Sri Lanka lost to Kenya in that WC03

 

[BouncerGuy]

A maiden over to start the game.

 

[Devadwal]

They forfeited that game. Sri Lanka lost to Kenya in that WC03

Oh really .why they forfeited the game ?

 

[AAli98]

Pak slowly dragging teams to there level nz 0/0 of 3 overs.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Another maiden over. 3 overs back-to-back maidens. Excellent lines from the Dutch bowler keeping New Zealand quiet.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

3 maiden overs in a row

 

[kingusama92]

Quality bowling by the Netherlands

 

[Runner Up]

Is some kind of spot fixing going on or what

 

[Technics 1210]

This is going to be a belter of a game. I think NL may nudge a win here.

 

[Devadwal]

This is some record by Netherlands to bowl three consecutive maiden to start with a innings against top class Team

 

[kingusama92]

Oh really .why they forfeited the game ?

NZ said Nairobi was a security risk and didn't want to play there. ICC disagreed. Their only option was to play in Nairobi or forfeit.

 

[Nado_]

Netherlands May not be the most extravagant side with express pace bowlers but have to say they do the basics well keeping it accurate.

May not be New Zealand but I would not be surprised if they pull of an upset on one of the test teams

 

[King_Babar]

New Zealand is probably the most upset proof team. Can't remember the last time they lost to a minnow in ICC tournaments.

Out of all the weak teams, they actually lost to Bangladesh in CT2017.

 

[Babeikh]

Oh really .why they forfeited the game ?

They were too scared to go to Nairobi.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Will Young is on a mission now. 4,4, 6 and 4 from him. After 5 overs, the Kiwis are 19 for no loss.

I'm glad it's not going to be pakistsan

 

[emranabbas]

Could be another 400 plus game

 

[Nado_]

Netherlands unable to handle the pressure? New Zealand in red hot form

 

[Ali Active]

Netherlands is decent team they are far better than overrated afghanistan.

 

[King_Babar]

Netherlands is decent team they are far better than overrated afghanistan.

Afghanistan is far better than any associate team, even better than Bangladesh.

 

[Ali Active]

Afghanistan is far better than any associate team, even better than Bangladesh.

netherlands will finish above afghanistan.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Current RR: 6.40

 

[Usergame]

Good start black caps. Get to 350 + and keep game safe from upset. Netherlands can be a dangerous team.

 

[King_Babar]

netherlands will finish above afghanistan.

I'm discussing their overall performance, not specifically within this World Cup. Despite obtaining their ODI status in approximately 2010, participating in their inaugural T20 match in 2012, and acquiring Test status in 2019, they have made significant strides and evolved into a formidable team, posing a substantial threat to their opponents.

The team boasts world-class spinners in Rashid, Mujeeb, and Nabi, along with a batter like Gurbaz who would be an asset to any top tier lineup. When compared with teams such as Bangladesh, the Netherlands (formerly Holland), Scotland and others it becomes evident that they have progressed admirably.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Devon Conway is gone. New Zealand are 1 down after a good start. Score is 67/1 after 12.1

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 17 OVERS, New Zealand in 90/1. I think their final score will be something like 350-60

 

[Asad T]

Young reaches 50 from 60 balls. He needed that after getting out for a golden duck in the last match
NZ's RR has been quite slow over the last 10 overs but we all know they have the power to accelerate at any time
NZ are 108/1 after 21 overs

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

These mascots are funny lol, feel like i am attending my son's school fun mela

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Probably get 350

 

[BouncerGuy]

Will young is gone for 70. New Zealand are 2 down now for 144 runs.

 

[AAli98]

Why is this idiot commentator sanju manju waffling on about india in a Netherlands vs nz game ?

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 30 overs, Kiwis are 171/2. Good batting by Daryl Mitchell and Rachin.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

I reckon Netherlands can finish above Afghanistan and Sri Lanka

 

[FearlessRoar]

Nw Zealand 183/2 after 32 overs.Rachin Ravindra is on 49*, and Daryl Mitchell just got dropped on 22*

 

[Asad T]

What a WC for Rachin so far. 50 for him but then he got out next ball

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Pakistan made 298, NZ maybe 350

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Can NL restrict Nz under 300?

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Can NL restrict Nz under 300?

Unlikely, but Netherlands have done a great job so far, looks like they have a master tactician of a captain

 

[Ali Active]

This is a bowl first worldcup. teams are batting well second time around under lights. nl might just upset this one

 

[Babeikh]

Got to hand it to the NL. They look a decent side. Bowled us out the other day and not too far off the Kiwis today.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Netherlands coming back strongly.
Go NL go

 

[Nado_]

This is a bowl first worldcup. teams are batting well second time around under lights. nl might just upset this one

Maybe not enough evidence as of yet , but I want to see more pitches like the India vs Australia game, they are proper thrillers, if Aus had took kohlis wicket or if they score another 30-40 runs could have been really close

If they had a couple more flashy batsman they would be something . But they are definitely putting up a challenge so far and maybe different pitch but they’ve bowled better than England

 

[Ali Active]

Ball is coming on better in second innings. in most of the games

ind pak game will also depend on toss

 

[mrtaim3]

Netherlands have improved a lot from the last time I saw them playing. Their fielding and bowling does seem competitive. However, its their batting which needs improvement.

I don't think they will be able to chase this against NZ bowlers.

 

[FearlessRoar]

NZ 289/6 (48/50 ov)
Current RR: 6.02

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Half Century for Latham

 

[FearlessRoar]

Fifty for the New Zealand captain Tom Latham

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Latham gone

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

300 up for NZ

 

[Babeikh]

Maybe not enough evidence as of yet , but I want to see more pitches like the India vs Australia game, they are proper thrillers, if Aus had took kohlis wicket or if they score another 30-40 runs could have been really close

Dropping Kohli at that stage was really criminal. If a Pakistani had done that I would have flown to Pak, infiltrated the border into India, found him and given him a phainty.

 

[Technics 1210]

We need more teams like NL is the world cup.

NZ vs NL has been an absorbing match, and great effort by NL.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

323 target for NL

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

13 runs of the last ball...

But still good bowling performance from Netherlands again

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Last 2 balls spoiled whole over.

 

[FearlessRoar]

NZ 322/7 (50 overs)

Bas de Leede10-0-64-1
Aryan Dutt10-2-62-2

 

[MMHS]

Where are those 350-400… 500 runs wickets!!!!

I mean, first game Poms thought themselves to be too good for their own good and tried to post 400, only to be caught off guard, then tried to be too aggressive to get Kiwis all out with an under par score and a bowling attack that’s not their strength, neither that good - so, Kiwis clinically thrashed them.

An another game, Lankans some how believed that on that Delhi ground, with their attack, under scorching sun they would blow the South Africans, who had recently posted 350+ scores few times on their day batting first.

And today, I’ll be surprised if the Dutch can come within 80% of Kiwis total, which is a very humble 322, for the expectation set for this high scoring WC.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Devadwal]

Last 3 over Netherlands were concenced too many runs so they are out of game now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last 3 over Netherlands were concenced too many runs so they are out of game now.

They were out of the game moemnt they decided to chase. Teams like Netherlands lacks the experience to orchestrate chases unless it is against another associate side.

 

[Devadwal]

Henry produce outside edge but Mitchell at slip put down a regulation catch

 

[FearlessRoar]

A dropped catch, a missed run-out chance, some inside edges and a boundary. A patchy start for the Netherlands openers.

NED - 12/0 (4)

 

[Devadwal]

Clean bowled . Henry get first wicket for NZ

 

[FearlessRoar]

Matt Henry gets the first breakthrough. Vikramjit Singh departs after scoring 12 (20).

NED - 21/1 (6)
