New Zealand got off to a fantastic start thumping England by nine wickets in the World Cup opener in Ahmedabad. Netherlands, on the other hand, fought decently before imploding in the second half of the chase against Pakistan. Both teams will be looking to do well in their second game at the mega event. The Dutch have an advantage of knowing the conditions in Hyderabad having played their previous match at the same venue.

They have the potential in them but will need a brilliant show from each of the 11 players on the field to have any chance of beating the Kiwis. Meanwhile, the Black Caps continue to be without their skipper Kane Williamson even for this match. But their pace bowlers Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee are available for this match. There could be a change in the bowling attack for them in this encounter.

Pitch Report

The surface in Hyderabad is absolutely flat. But surprisingly, the pitch assisted spinners in the previous game between Pakistan and the Netherlands. However, scores around 300 will be expected in this match especially if the Kiwis bat first. The average score batting first in ODIs here is 287 which Pakistan almost scored here and defended it later. The team winning the toss will definitely look to bat first and put up a big total.
