Commentary

With that, we come to the conclusion of our coverage of the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup for the day. Both teams will enjoy a long break before their next match - New Zealand remain in Chennai, preparing for their clash against Bangladesh at the M.A. Chidambaram stadium on Friday. The Netherlands will have a week's time to recover and rejuvenate - they travel up north to Dharamshala to take on South Africa on the 17th. We've got another double header lined up tomorrow - England take on Bangladesh at Dharamshala in a day game, followed by a sub-continental clash between Pakistan and Sri Lanka - commencing at 2 p.m. IST. Join us right here on Sportskeeda for our extensive coverage of the same! This is Rajarshi, signing off on behalf of Pradeep. Good night - see you tomorrow!

Coming off a resounding win against the defending champions, New Zealand were always going to be favourites in this clash. On a wicket which seemed to be on the slower side, their top 5 chipped in with valuable contributions. That set the tone nicely for them in exceeding 300 eventually - Latham and Santner provided the much-needed finishing touches.

As mentioned earlier, the fight from the Netherlands, one that we've seen from them on occasions before, was just not on show today. It seemed like they accepted their fate right before the commencement of the run-chase. They do need a boost or two from hereon - after all, being the only non-Test playing nation out of the 10 teams in the World Cup, they do need to make a case for the rest of the associate nations by pulling off something that'd make the world sit up and take note - once again.

Tom Latham (New Zealand captain): Ya, we would've bowled too. It was about bat first or ball first, I think we did a great job with the bat first up and managed to build partnership in the middle and a couple towards the backend, obviously the bowlers did fantastic job in the end. You need time in the middle, valuable, biggest thing was the partnerships and that allowed us to do well at the end. Guys have bowled beautifully, tried to make sure we be proactive with the changes, making sure that they didn't bowl too many overs in a row, I thought the spinners were outstanding, I thought Mitch bowled fantastically well, got the rewards and nice for him to get that. Big boys up front did well, squeezed them through at the start, able to use the scoreboard and built pressure at the start. Great to have Lockie back, didn't want to push him too early and bowled well. We saw that last night, conditions different in Chennai, it's important about adapting, it's nice to have two games in a row there and fingers crossed, hopefully we get acclimatized to conditions and get cracking. We're not far away in having the full squad, great to see Kane back doing his thing, getting closer everyday and Tim is obviously progressing nicely, fingers crossed and hopefully both are available soon.

Scott Edwards (Netherlands captain): I thought we were good with the ball for the first 40 overs, probably 47 to be fair, but they got away with it in the last three overs and pushed hard. We wanted to hold them on to 280 or 300 mark, the ball would come on to nicely under lights, we obviously know the New Zealand are a disciplined side and are going to make anything easy with any score. You're not going to chase down 320 with 40's, 50's and 60's, we're going to speak to our guys and come the next few games to put up big partnerships. There's definitely going to be positives, probably few errors we made in the last game, but just have to find ways to rectify those going into the next seven games. For us, it's another game and play our best cricket, give our best.

Mitchell Santner is the Player of the Match! Here's what he has to say: Not so bad, obviously credit to the boys up front with the bat, gave us a good platform, but I guess couple of late falls, nice to get to 320 and we knew that it would skid on under the lights, we contained them and bowled well. I guess the nature of the surface as is, it was nice to get the purchase of the surface, didn't bowled well particularly though, nice to get the rewards, we hung in and picked wickets in partnerships, we managed to take wickets like we did against England to slow them down. I've been lucky to play in India for the last few years, watching Jadeja do in these conditions, it's little bit slow and the variations help, their spinners bowled well too. I like to bat a bit in the nets, thank you!

Match summary:

New Zealand win by 99 runs

Will Young 70(80) | Mitchell Santner 5/59 (10)
Colin Ackermann 69(73) | Roelof van der Merwe 2/56 (9)

We are yet to have a last-over thriller this World Cup, and it was certainly not going to take place in this game. Not with the way the Netherlands started off, at least. On a wicket which slowed down over the course of the day, the Netherlands batters found it tough to get going from the start. There were times when the Blackcaps pacers proved to be superior with their line and length at times in the powerplay - it was more a mental battle for the men in orange, and they couldn't punch their way out of it.

Vikramjit Singh looked a shadow of himself from his last outing against Pakistan. His feet weren't moving at all against New Zealand's pacers, and so, it was a matter of time one of them went past his defence. Matt Henry did just that as the left-handed opener played down the wrong line and had his stumps wrecked. Max O'Dowd tried his best to get going today, but was completely done in playing for the spin against Mitchell Santner.

Colin Ackermann, first along with Bas de Leede and then Teja Nidamanuru, looked to stitch a partnership, but the required rate was always going to get to the Netherlands batters - they just weren't able to score quickly enough - not with the wicket slowing up and the New Zealand bowlers hitting the right line and length more often. Ackermann and Scott Edwards both perished trying to up the ante, falling to Santner, who went on to claim the first five-wicket-haul for New Zealand in Men's 50-over World Cup cricket.

It was a matter of damage control and batting out the 50 overs for the Netherlands post that. We saw a few entertaining strokes from the lower-order, but the New Zealand attack made sure of mopping things up with time to spare. The Netherlands slump to a second successive defeat, and while the margin looks similar to their first, the fight seemed to be missing this time. Right, time for the presentations now...

That's the way to do it! Fast, full and straight to the tail-ender, and the fun ends for Aryan Dutt! The leg stump is toppled, and New Zealand's Net Run Rate receives a healthy boost!

46.3 Matt Henry to Aryan Dutt, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! It's all over, New Zealand with back to back wins and Netherlands suffer yet another defeat. Length delivery, tailed in on the middle and leg. Dutt misses a straighter one as he looks to drive, through the gates and crashes into middle and leg. Henry has his third of the game!

Aryan Dutt b Matt Henry 11 (20b, 0x4, 1x6)

46.2 Matt Henry to Aryan Dutt, pace off, short and outside the off-stump. Dutt waits and thumped it in the air, but falls well short of the mid-off fielder.

46.1 Matt Henry to Aryan Dutt, change of pace, back of a length outside the off-stump. Dutt has a wild heave too early, ends up dragging it to short mid-wicket fielder.

With numbers 10 and 11 in the middle, we might be either in for five overs of entertainment, or a quick end to the game. Neither of the two will be inclined to block it out and play the 50 overs, so...

45.6 Lockie Ferguson to Paul van Meekeren, OH! Just short of the man at short extra-cover this time. Short into the batter, van Meekeren looks to pull but takes the outside edge into the off-side.

Yup. The van Meekeren show has commenced! Might be a short one, but it'll be one amusing sight!

45.5 Lockie Ferguson to Paul van Meekeren, FOUR! Alright, van Meekeren showing off now. Length delivery on the leg-stump, walks across off-stump and ramps it down to fine-leg for a boundary, great execution that!

45.4 Lockie Ferguson to Paul van Meekeren, OH MY! Chipped it and just manages to clear Ferguson to his right. Length delivery on the stumps, van Meekeren looks to play into the on-side, goes wide of Ferguson to his right and falls safely.

45.3 Lockie Ferguson to Aryan Dutt, short into the batter, Dutt on the backfoot chipped it over square-leg, falls safely as they pick up a single.

45.2 Lockie Ferguson to Aryan Dutt, OH! Kept low. Back of a length on the fourth stump, Dutt loses his shape as he misses the swipe, through to the keeper.

45.1 Lockie Ferguson to Aryan Dutt, back of a length on the fourth stump, Dutt went back and punched it straight to mid-off along the turf.
