At Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the sixth match of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup will feature the underdog Netherlands taking on a wounded New Zealand.
The Black Caps, who are presently ranked first with a mind-boggling 2.149 net run rate (NRR), will be seeking to dominate today after crushing England in the major event opener.
However, the club is without captain Kane Williamson, who is currently recovering from an injury, while the Dutch player returns for today’s encounter. In their opening World Cup 2023 match against Pakistan, the Scott Edwards-led team was defeated by a significant margin.
The surface at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi Stadium provides bowlers with more bounce, and as the game progresses, batsmen may also score significantly.
New Zealand continued to dominate the Netherlands in previous games. Four games were played between the two sides, with the Kiwis winning each one.
Teams for the Netherlands vs. New Zealand
Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede, Vikram Singh, Teja Nidamanuru, Paul van Meekeren, Colin Ackermann, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Ryan Klein, Wesley Barresi, Saqib Zulfiqar, Shariz Ahmad, and Sybrand Engelbrecht are among the Netherlands’ starting lineup. Scott Edwards serves as the captain.
Trent Boult, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitch Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, and Will Young are all New Zealand players.
