New Zealand and Netherlands lock horns in the second ODI of the three-match series on April 2, Saturday at Seddon Park, Hamilton.
After winning the toss, Netherlands looked out of sorts in all aspects of the game. They went on to score only 202 runs in 49.4 overs before getting all-out. Michael Rippon and Pieter Seelar were the top scorers for the Dutch side. With the ball, Blair Tickner, with a four-fer, and Kyle Jamieson, with a three-wicket haul, shone for New Zealand.
On the other hand, New Zealand needed just 38.3 overs to finish the game. Will Young stole the limelight with a 103-run knock. Henry Nicholls also did well with the willow by scoring a fifty. New Zealand, going into the second ODI, would expect to continue their momentum and seal the series.

Pitch Report
The surface looked pretty decent for both batters and bowlers. We can expect spinners and pacers to get extra benefit right from the first ball of the game. Spinners will get a bit of turn and pacers are expected to extract bounce. Any score above 300 would be tough to chase on this strip.
NZ vs NED Match Prediction
New Zealand are having a very good time in the series and they would be hoping to seal another match with a big win over the relatively weaker Netherlands side. This series is a big learning curve for the Dutch side.
