ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Match Prediction 2023 | Match 06 | New Zealand vs Netherlands – Will the Kiwis be able to retain the top spot in the points table for the second consecutive win? | Oct, 09
In the sixth match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, New Zealand will take on the Netherlands and try to continue their winning streak. With a crushing victory over the reigning champions England in their opening match, New Zealand is off to an electric start in the competition. The Netherlands’ last game was against Pakistan, and despite the loss, the team put on a strong performance.
New Zealand has never been defeated by the Netherlands in an ODI match. The players must get past this in order to win because it will be on their minds. The recent game versus England featured some excellent batsmanship from New Zealand. It would be intriguing to see if the Dutch team can pull off an upset in this match because they have performed well against strong teams this year.
NZ vs NED Team Preview & Squads
New Zealand
The Kiwis cruised to a 9-wicket victory against the defending champions despite captain Kane Williamson missing the World Cup opener against England. Given that New Zealand won’t rush the players in and will give them time to rest, Tom Latham will probably captain the team once more. Latham would aim to capitalize on their strong start to the competition as they take against a team with less experience in this match.
Will Young, who was out of the last match, will want to make a good first impression with Devon Conway, who scored an outstanding 100 points. In the middle order, with Latham and Darryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra played a thrilling knock and will try to score more runs. James Neesham, Mark Chapman, and Glenn Phillips in the bottom middle order give this lineup more punch.
Despite Tim Southee’s absence, the bowling team put on a strong performance. Trent Boult and Matt Henry, who excelled against England with the ball, will be sought after by the team for early wickets. The middle overs require Mitchell Santner and James Neesham to bowl stringent stretches. The attacks of Phillips, Mitchell, and Ravindra are varied.

Netherlands
In their opening match, Scott Edwards’ team made a valiant effort against the Pakistanis. There were many positives for the team, despite the fact that they lost the game by 81 runs. They caused difficulties for the Pakistanis with the ball and plan to step up their performance in this contest. Since they are this team’s true strength, Edwards wants his all-rounders to put in strong performances.
Vikramjit Singh, who performed well in the previous game, and Max O’Dowd are expected to get the team off to a strong start in this one. The side will require strong performances from Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, and Teja Nidamanuru because the middle order has a wealth of experience. With Saqib Zulfiqar and Logan Van Beek, who are both strong hitters, Edwards will try to add some quick runs down the order.
The team is counting on the new ball pitchers Logan van Beek and Aryan Dutt to take early wickets after their performance in the last game. Due to the New Zealand batsmen’s aggressive approach, Roelof van der Merwe, Ackermann, and Bas de Leede play vital roles in the middle overs. This attack’s versatility is enhanced by Saqib Zulfiqar and Vikramjit Singh.
Netherlands Squads

Scott Edwards (c & wk), Saqib Zulfiqar, Logan van Beek, Paul van Meekeren, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Teja Nidamanuru, Max O’Dowd, Aryan Dutt, and Roelof van der Merwe.
In five of the eight One Day Internationals played in Hyderabad, the team batting first has prevailed. Therefore, we believe that the team that wins the toss will probably choose to bat first.
It’s predicted that the sky will remain clear, there will be lots of sunshine, and the temperature will get as high as 33 degrees Celsius.
The field is going to be challenging and has good bounce and pace. The pitch’s consistency will be appreciated by the batsmen, and we can anticipate them playing a lot of strokes. Around 285 is the typical first-inning score. Also fairly rapid is the outfield. In the second part of the game, the spinners will benefit.
