🏏Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #6: Netherlands vs NewZealand 9 Oct 🏏 - Page 74

Shail: The balance and stability in their lineup makes NZ a very strong contender for WC2023

Manjrekar s asking Santner - u were n IpL so u know Indian pitches. But changed to although u didn't play many matches.

Two wins in two matches for New Zealand; two losses in two matches for Netherlands. Opting to bowl, Netherlands started with three maiden overs but they couldn't get the early breakthrough. All the top five NZ batters got starts with three of them notching up half-centuries. The Dutch threatened to restrict their opponents to a score under 300 but Santner's cameo took the Black Caps' total to 322. In reply, most of the Netherlands batters got starts but only Colin Ackermann got to a fifty. He stitched a 50-run stand with Teja Nidamanuru but a mix-up between them resulted in the latter's downfall. Ackermann was joined by captain Scott Edwards and the duo kept the scoreboard ticking. But Santner - who had conceded 36 runs off his first five overs - came back and picked two crucial wickets. He nipped out Ackermann and Edwards in successive overs to extinguish any Netherlands hopes. While the left-arm spinner scalped a fifer, Henry wrapped up the proceedings by picking his second three-fer in as many matches.

Mustafa Moudi: "Though the Australia side doesnt looks settle but they have high chances of making it to the top 4 due to a favourable scheduling. Their last 2 matches are against Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Unless there is any upsets, they can win both of them by the required NRR and easily make it to the Semi-Finals !!"

Richard: "A C Smith kept wicket for England at the start of his career. He ended it as a swing bowler. I was at the match with 3 test wicketkeepers on the field (Smith, Kanhai, Murray), and someone else (Jameson) keeping wicket!"

Santner got MOM 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I knew it

He deserves it

Netherlands ran out of gas against a quality bowling line-up. They suffer a heavy defeat, but their quest to search for their first win in the World Cup will continue. Ackermann emerged as the top-scorer with 69, but he didn't get much support from his teammates. Santner proved to be the chief tormenter, picking up a sensational fifer, while Henry chipped in with three wickets, and Ravindra continues to evolve as a fantastic all-rounder, bowled a very economical spell
