Another great pitch for cricket. If this had been Old Trafford , Morgan would have slogged an ugly 20 sixes and Sky Sports would've called him the left handed Viv Richards or something

For what? Was clearly the correct decision. Doesn't help that the commentators are clueless on the laws!

I have seen it in my own eyes - gathering point was clearly behind the line of wickets, though initially gloves might be ahead.

The gathering point doesn't matter. His gloves were clearly in line with the stumps before the ball passed them.

Maximum, the tip of fingers could be in line, but not ahead when the ball past the stick - I’m sure we’ll hear about the explanation.

That's all they have to be, as soon as his fingers were in line with the stumps before the ball passed them it was a no ball.

Tidy performance by NZ, but credit to Netherlands, they've battled hard and not made fools of themselves so far at this tournament.

Two-from-two: New Zealand cruise to second triumph of World Cup​

New Zealand followed up their brilliant showing against England, with yet another thumping win against Netherlands at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.

Netherlands fell 99 runs short of the New Zealand's lofty total of 322/7 in Hyderabad.

Like their first Cricket World Cup encounter, the Dutch batted well on occasions but couldn't click as a unit.

Colin Ackermann was their highest-scorer with 69. Scott Edwards (30) and Sybrand Engelbrecht (29) were the other notable contributors.

Mitchell Santner showed all-round brilliance for New Zealand, and followed up his quickfire 36* with the first five-for (5/59) of the ongoing tournament.

Santner became the first New Zealand spinner to register a five-wicket haul in Men's Cricket World Cup history

New Zealand adopted an aggressive approach throughout their innings to belt out a big total in Hyderabad.

Will Young was the team's top-scorer with 70. Other key contributors were Rachin Ravindra (51), Tom Latham (53) and Daryl Mitchell (48).

Netherlands bowling effort was led by Aryan Dutt (2/60), and Paul van Meekeren (2/59).

Dutch lost out on Teja Nidamanuru to a mix up in the middle in the 26th over. The end of this promising 50-run stand for the fourth wicket severely hit the Netherlands chances, as Nidamanuru (21) was looking in a fine touch.

Colin Ackermann (69) and Scott Edwards (30) went for their shots in an effort to get closer to the target. But both fell to the spin of Mitchell Santner. Ackermann messed up a switch hit and gifted a catch to the Short Third, while Edwards fell trying to slog.

Santner had his fourth, when Roelof van der Merwe reverse swept a ball straight to Matt Henry. Not much later, Santner picked his fifth wicket in the 42nd over when he trapped Ryan Klein lbw. He became the first New Zealand spinner to take a five-for in ODI World Cup history.

Netherlands eventually folded in the 47th over.

The Dutch chase got off to a rocky start when Vikramjit Singh (12) was bowled in the sixth over. A length delivery from Matt Henry straightened in and crashed into his middle stump.

His partner, Max O'Dowd, too couldn't stay for long and fell lbw in the 11th over. Bas de Leede tried to lift the scoring rate with a few aggressive shots, but fell in the 17th over to a brilliant catch by the boundary rider, Trent Boult.

De Leede hit the ball towards the long-off, where Boult took the catch, but the momentum forced his body outside the ropes. However, the Kiwi bowler threw the ball in the air before he went outside the playing area and then hopped in to complete the catch.

Colin Ackermann and Teja Nidamanuru then came together to stitch a useful stand for the Dutch.

After the 25-over mark, New Zealand tried to up the scoring rate and lost a few batters in the process. Young (70) was the first to go, as he tried to pull a van Meekeren delivery above mid-on and ended up getting caught in the 27th over. Ravindra (51) added some crucial runs along with Mitchell but was unlucky to be dismissed while trying to nudge the ball down the leg-side.

A crucial 53-run stand between Mitchell and Latham helped New Zealand cross 200. It was Mitchell's dismissal in the final Powerplay which brought about a mini-collapse for the Kiwis, as the side lost three wickets for merely 16 runs.

A half-century from Latham (53) and a cameo from Mitchell Santner (36* from 17) helped lift New Zealand. They reached 322/7 at the end of their innings.

Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards won the toss for the second time in a row and elected yet again to take the field. His opposite number, Latham, stated that he too would have liked to take the field on winning the toss.

The Dutch bowled three maidens in a row after taking the field. Conway and Young, however, refused to get bogged down and opened their arms with a flurry of strokes. Young was the first one to tee off, scoring two boundaries in Ryan Klein's second over and then hitting a four and a six in the fifth over.

Conway took charge from the sixth over and soon the Kiwis were dealing in boundaries. However, a relative slowing of scoring rate towards the beginning of the second Powerplay helped Netherlands get the wicket of Conway (32). The southpaw went for one shot too many and was caught in the deep off the bowling of Roelof van der Merwe.

He was replaced by Ravindra, who joined forces with Young to keep the New Zealand run flow alive. Young brought up his half-century in the 20th over.

Netherlands made two changes into their XI. Klein and Sybrand Engelbrecht made it into the playing XI. The latter, a former South Africa U19 player, was making his first appearance in competitive cricket since 2016. He last featured for Western Province in the South Africa domestic cricket. He scored 166 in his last first-class appearance.

Logan van Beek was out due to a hamstring strain.

New Zealand were boosted by the return of Lockie Ferguson in place of James Neesham. Kane Williamson and Tim Southee weren't available for selection today.

Kane Williamson has not played yet, but no problem for New Zealand

Tom Latham has led them to two back to back wins

 

[Ab Fan]

New Zealand have matches vs Bangladesh and Afghanistan in Chennai, so it won't be that easy for them.

NZ vs SA should be a nail bitter again. These two gave three nail bitters in last three World Cups- 2011, 2015 and 2019.

Thakur should be no go from now on
