New Zealand are coming off a thumping win against England in the WC opener, while the Dutch lost to Pakistan in their first game of the showpiece event. The Kiwis go into the match as the favorites Netherlands, by no means will be pushovers as was evidenced in their game against Pakistan.
Speaking about New Zealand, they completely dominated with bat and both against England. Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway scored scintillating hundreds, while Matt Henry was the pick of the bowlers, picking three wickets. NZ have set their intentions clear on the template they will be playing the WC. The Kiwis have also adopted England’s style of play of batting deep from number 1 to 9.

NZ vs NED: Williamson, Southee in doubt to play for NZ against Netherlands
Despite no Kane Williamson, Tim Southee, and Lockie Ferguson, New Zealand still managed to put on a comprehensive display. Skipper Tom Latham was spot on with bowling changes and rotated the bowlers well. Batting looks solid for New Zealand, with Conway and Daryl Mitchell in the form of their lives.
Netherlands will have their task cut out to restrict a powerful batting line-up. The Dutch have Bas de Leede, Van Beek, and Aryan Dutt up their sleeves, who are in good form. The Dutch will be hoping they can restrict NZ to a manageable total.
