Today ODI World Cup 2023 Match – New Zealand vs Netherlands Match Preview, Pitch and Weather Report, Playing XI

New Zealand and Netherlands are going to play the first game of round two of the ODI World Cup 2023. In the first round, New Zealand played their game against former champion England and Netherlands faced Pakistan. But both teams produced different results.

New Zealand gets a marvelous victory against England. Their bowling lineup and field setup restricted England under 300 due to the very sensible captaincy of Tom Latham in the absence of Kane Williamson. Then their batters just outclassed english bowlers and bashed them on every ball. Young Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway played a master-class partnership and chased down this total before 40 overs.

The Dutch team started really well by demolishing the top order of Pakistan. They got early wickets of Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, and Imam ul Haq. Then, the partnership between Muhammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel provided a good recovery, and Pakistan succeeded in setting up a decent total. Netherlands was going well with the chase; they had a score of 120/2. But one over by Haris Rauf was enough to change the game for Pakistan. That eventually brought 81 runs defeat for the Netherlands.
