New Zealand vs Netherlands, 1st ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
The first game of the three-match ODI series between New Zealand and Netherlands will be played on March 29 at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. The ODI series will be a part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League 2020-2023.
New Zealand and Netherlands were scheduled to play a lone T20I on March 25 but it was a complete washout. The whole game was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
The two sides will now face off in an ODI series, starting from March 29. New Zealand have a depleted squad as 12 regular members haven’t been picked to allow them to play in the Indian Premier League.
Tom Latham will be leading New Zealand in the ODI series. The likes of Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor and Colin de Grandhomme will play a key role for them. Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson will lead the pace-bowling attack, with Ish Sodhi being the lead spinner. They will be looking to kick off the series on a winning note.
Netherlands, meanwhile, haven’t had the best preparations heading into the ODI series. They faced New Zealand XI in two one-day warm-up matches. It was a disappointing effort from them as they lost both games. The following T20 warm-up game and T20I against New Zealand were washed out.
Pieter Seelaar will continue to lead the Netherlands. They have got some experienced players in Bas de Leede, Max O'Dowd and Logan van Beek. They have to be at their absolute best to challenge the Kiwis.
