Fantasy TipsExclusive
1
Martin Guptill played a decent knock of 45 runs and displayed his current good form with the bat. He will be eager to manage a bigger knock in the final T20I vs Netherlands. Bas de Leede (66 runs off 53 balls) scored fifty from Netherland and he will be a top fantasy pick from the host's side.
2
James Neesham once again proved to be a match-winner. He played a glittery knock of 32 runs in just 17 balls in 1st T20I. He will be the all-rounder to watch out for in the 2nd T20I.
3
Stephan Myburgh's poor run in the shorter format has emerged as the biggest weakness for Netherlands recently. He will be expected to regain his top form vs NZ in the final T20I.
4
Blair Tickner (4/27) and Ben Sears (3/22) jointly took 7 wickets in the series opener. They can turn things around in favor of New Zealand once again in the final game of the T20I series.

That will be all on behalf of the duo of Abhishek and Bala from here at Sportskeeda. Still starved of cricketing action? Do switch tabs to South Africa vs Ireland. Till then goodbye and take care!
Scott Edwards (Captain, The Netherlands): We would have been more competitive if we were around the 160 mark. It was the par score I guess. The way we bowled and fielded may not make it look like the par score. Against a quality side like New Zealand, you can't afford to drop catches. It didn't help us in the end. He (Bas de Leede) has been sensational in the last year or so. Has been great for us. This is the sort of cricket you want to be playing as a preparation for the World Cup. The more we play, the better we will get.
Mitchell Santner (New Zealand captain): I am very pleased. We played better. It can be tricky at times with the wind blowing. It was fixed (me promoting myselft at No.3) to take care of the left arm finger spinners. It was a decent score but the pitch turned out to be better in the second innings. The intent we showed in second innings was outstanding. We lost wickets but didn't cave in. West Indies will be different guys stepping up at different times.
New Zealand win the game by 8 wickets!
New Zealand were expected to make light work of their European counterparts in this tour and the same took its due course. The Netherlands started the second innings on a bright note, dismissing Martin Guptill and Finn Allen in successive overs. But a promoted Mitchell Santner up the order came out of syllabus and none of the seven Dutch bowlers had answers to pick his wicket.
Playing boldly, the left hander struck nine boundaries and four sixes on his way to score 77 runs off 42 balls. Targeting mainly the cover boundaries, Santner also dispatched the ball past the midwicket boundaries to score a boundary off every over. Daryl Mitchell joined the party slightly late and hit the winning runs as the ball dipped into the river encapsulating the stadium twice in the last over of the game.
Earlier in the game, Bas de Leede scored 53 runs off 48 balls to steady the Netherlands' ship but it was too slow of an innings. Onto the presentations...

13.6 Ryan Klein to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR! That's the game! Mitchell gets to his FIFTY as well. Full delivery on middle and leg. Swings it across to deep mid-wicket. Bisects the two fielders in the deep
13.5 Ryan Klein to Daryl Mitchell, full and straight on middle and leg. Squeezes it out to mid-on. The lack of energy on that shot allows them to get back for the second
13.4 Ryan Klein to Daryl Mitchell, follows the batter this time. Yorker right at his toes. Gets an inside edge back onto his pad
13.3 Ryan Klein to Daryl Mitchell, SIX! Make that two in a row! The canal has one more to its collection. In the slot outside off. He goes straight back over the bowler's head
Down the ground and into the water! The game might be finished in this over itself.
