Pitch Report

A good batting track awaits the two sides with some help available for the pacers. While the new ball should move around a bit, the batters should enjoy the carry and bounce off the surface. There isn't much turn available for the spinners, with changes in lengths and lines being key. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 260-270 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s NZ vs NED Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Scott Edwards: Scott Edwards has been in decent form of late. Although he couldn't play a big knock in the previous game, Edwards' experience and ability to keep the scoreboard ticking will be key. While Latham is a fine option too, Edwards should find a place in your NZ vs NED Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Martin Guptill: Martin Guptill had a rare failure in the first ODI, getting out cheaply in the powerplay overs. However, he remains New Zealand's best bet with the bat, given his explosiveness and experience at the top of the order. With the veteran batter keen to get back into runscoring form, he is one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounder

Michael Rippon: Michael Rippon was the standout Dutch player in the previous game as he delivered with the both and ball. In addition to his form, Rippon has the experience of playing domestic cricket in New Zealand, which should serve him well. With the conditions also bound to help him, Rippon is a must-have in your NZ vs NED Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Matt Henry: Matt Henry is one of the best new-ball bowlers, with the Kiwi pacer boasting a brilliant record in the ODIs. He did show glimpses of his ability in the first ODI by getting the new ball to talk. With Henry being in fine form all season in white-ball cricket, he can be backed to pick up a few wickets in this game.
