New Zealand vs Netherlands, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
The second game of the ODI series between New Zealand and the Netherlands will be played on March 2 at Seddon Park in Hamilton. New Zealand won their first game comfortably and the Netherlands will need to win the next game to keep the series alive.
In the first ODI, Dutch skipper Pieter Seelaar won the toss and opted to bat first. The decision backfired as they got off to the worst possible start. The batters failed to adapt to the conditions as they were knocked over on 202 in the last over. Contributions from Michael Rippon and Seelaar helped them get over 200. Debutant Blair Tickner picked up four wickets whereas Kyle Jamieson finished with three.
New Zealand lost Martin Guptill early in the innings but a solid second-wicket stand between Henry Nicholls helped them chase down the total. Young scored his maiden ODI ton as he remained unbeaten on 103 to help his side get across the line in the 39th over. They will be hoping to repeat their performance in the second game of the series whereas the Dutch side need to be at their absolute best to level the series.
