World Cup ODI 2023

NZ vs. NED, Match 2

Preview

The Blackcaps will look to build on the momentum as they take on the Netherlands in the 6th match of the World Cup ODI 2023. This match is scheduled to take place on Monday(09 Oct), at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad at 02:00 PM IST. Tom Latham-led NZ has made an electrifying start to the tournament, demolishing defending champions ENG in their opening match of the tournament. Scott Edwards-led NED lost their last match against Babar Azam-led PAK, but NED did raise the expectations with a good show in that game.  

NED has previously defeated NZ in an ODI game. It will be on the players' minds, and they must overcome this to win here. NZ's batters looked terrific in the last game against Jos Buttler-led ENG. NED has done well against big teams this year, and it will be interesting to see if they can cause an upset in this match.

Both sides have faced each other in 4 matches in ODI. Out of these 4 matches, NZ has won 4 whereas NED has not won any match against the Blackcaps.

Match Prediction

NED got a taste of playing in the big tournament in the last match. The Dutch side played well in parts, but that won't be good enough against a strong side like NZ. The batters must show more intent for the side to win. It was a textbook win for the Blackcaps in the opening encounter. NZ have a strong batting line-up and a lot of experience in the bowling attack. It puts them ahead of the Dutch side. 

NZ has a very balanced squad, and we believe them to start as the favourite for this match.
