New Zealand vs Netherlands, Only T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Ahead of their three-match ODI series, New Zealand will host the Netherlands in a one-off T20I at McLean Park in Napier on March 25.
New Zealand made it to the final of the ICC T20 World Cup last year, but failed to show any character against India in the three-match T20I series that followed it.
The Kiwis have been a great T20 unit and will look to put their best foot forward against the Dutch team. While the hosts will miss the services of their regular skipper Kane Williamson and T20I specialists Trent Boult and Tim Southee, they will still be strong for the Netherlands.
The visitors will have their task cut out. They will have to play their best cricket if they are to beat the hosts in this encounter.
The Dutch took on Afghanistan in a three-match ODI series in January. They played some quality cricket but failed to get the better of the Afghans in all three games.
They will be eager to put in their best efforts and give the hosts a run for their money on this tour.
