New Zealand vs Netherlands, World Cup 2023 Highlights: Santner (5/59) inspires NZ to 99 run victory against NED

Hello and welcome to Day 5 at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023!

Yesterday, we enjoyed a blockbuster encounter as hosts India laid down a marker against five-time World Cup champions Australia at the Chepauk Stadium.

Now it's time to recover from that pulsating encounter and turn our attention to another potentially exciting match as New Zealand look to build on their excellent start with another win against Netherlands.

New Zealand vs Netherlands Full WC Squads:

Netherlands WC 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 and Sybrand Engelbrecht.

New Zealand WC Squad: Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (w/c), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Trent Boult, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee.

What happened to both teams last time out?

New Zealand began their tournament with a dominant win as they tamed old foes England in spectacular fashion. The Kiwis restricted the Three Lions to just 282/9 before knocking off that score courtesy centuries from Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra to seal a 9 wicket win.

Netherlands on the other hand provided stiff resistance to Pakistan but were ultimately undone, losing by 81 runs. Bas de Leede was the standout performer in that game, taking 4/62 and scoring 67 off 68 balls. The Dutch though will be hoping for a better all-round show from the team this time out.

Toss update: Netherlands win toss, opt to bowl!

Scott Edwards is backing his bowlers to put the Kiwis under pressure

Were going to have a bowl first, from the last game it seemed like bowling conditions were better earlier in the day and no real dew factor. Were in a good place. Two changes, Sybrand Engelbrecht and Ryan Klein come in for us.

Scott Edwards (Netherlands Captain)

Kane Williamson isn't fit yet for NZ so Tom Latham continues to fill in

We would’ve had a bowl, looks a decent surface. We played a practice game on this wicket last week so happy to put up runs on the board. Was a fantastic performance last game, the bowlers did a fantastic job upfront and then Devon and Rachin came out there and played brilliantly. Lockie Ferguson comes in for James Neesham.

Tom Latham (New Zealand Captain)

More of 'chin' than 'Ra' in Rachin - Rahul Dravid

All eyes will be on Kiwi's free-flowing batter today who prompted a commentator to remark that though his name had been derived from Rahul and Sachin, he was batting like Brian Lara!

Netherlands need 323 to win!

An excellent batting performance from New Zealand despite a slow start. The innings started with three back-to-back maidens but the Kiwis slowly seized control and half-centuries from Will Young (70), Rachin Ravindra (51) and Tom Latham (53) sees them post a massive total.

The Dutch will have to put on an exceptional batting performance against a talented Kiwi bowling attack to get anything out of this game.

van Meekeren doesn't see why the Dutch can't chase down this total!

Would have liked to be a little better. Tried to execute what my plan was and I did. At one stage, they are set to score 350 but we wanted to restrict them to 300 but they ended up getting something in the middle. Just left a few too many runs at the end. Slower ball into the wicket and at the top of the stumps, it’s a bit hard to hit. The boys got a lot of confidence in the qualifiers. We chased 374 against West Indies so there’s no reason why we can’t chase 323 now.

Paul van Meekeren (2/59)

All set for the run chase!

8.5 - No run, O'Dowd blocks it towards mid-on.

The Third Umpire decides that Latham collects it in front of the stumps and it's now given a no-ball. The replays looked tight and the commentators sure aren't happy with that decision.

New Zealand win by 99 runs!

New Zealand make it two wins out of two at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. Netherlands meanwhile succumb to their second successive defeat.

The Dutch looked to frustrate their opponents but couldn't contain the Kiwis for too long. Half-centuries from Will Young (70), Rachin Ravindra (51) and Tom Latham (53) set the stage nicely before Mitchell Santner played a quick-scoring cameo adding 36* off just 17 balls to fire the Kiwis to 322/7.

Santner (5/59) then grabbed a fifer with the ball as Netherlands ultimately fell short of 99 runs despite a fighting half-century from Colin Ackermann (69).

An all-round masterclass from Player of the Match, Mitchell Santner

(On his performance) Not too bad, credit to the boys upfront with the bat, they gave us a nice platform. There was a bit of a hole in the middle but we did well to get past 320. It skidded a bit under lights but we contained them and bowled well. It was nice tonight, got a lot of purchase, didn’t bowl my best tonight but happy to get the rewards. Today it was slower, held on the pitch and their spinners bowled really well too.

Mitchell Santner (5/59 & 36* off 17 balls)

Scott Edwards is looking for more from his batting attack

We were pretty good in the first 40 overs. They got away from us in the last 3 overs which pushed the score a little bit further than we were hoping. If we could hold them to 280-300 mark, the wicket gets a little better at night. NZ are a disciplined bowling attack, they are not going to make it easy for you. You are not going to chase down 321 with 40s, 50s and 60s. We will speak about that with the boys. Come the next few games, we have to put on bigger partnerships and bigger scores. For us, it's another game, we have to play our best cricket and try to win.

Scott Edwards (Netherlands Captain)

Tom Latham gives credit to his spinners

We would have bowled. We did a great job with the bat. We managed to build partnerships. Put a great score on the board and the bowlers did a fantastic job. Partnership after partnership allowed us to go into the death a little bit earlier. I tried to be proactive with the changes. The spinners were outstanding. Mitch got the rewards. The boys did a good job upfront. Great to see him (Lockie) back. Every ground you go to, it's about adapting. We are not too far away (from having the full squad available).

Tom Latham (New Zealand Captain)

What's next for both these teams?

New Zealand next take the field on October 13 at the Chepauk Stadium, Chennai where they will go up against Bangladesh.

It's a longer break for Netherlands who travel to Dharamshala where they will take on South Africa at the HPCA Stadium on October 17.

Well that's it from us for tonight! Join us again tomorrow as we have an exciting double-header lined up at the tournament.

The action starts with England vs Bangladesh that starts at 10:30 AM IST followed by Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at 2 PM IST.
