This match will be equally important for both sides. New Zealand will be looking for another convincing win to consolidate their place in the last fours. On the other hand, the Netherlands will be looking for their first upset of the mega event.
New Zealand’s Strengths and Weaknesses
New Zealand looked like a very solid team in their first match against England. They beat the opposition in all three departments of the game. They bowled well, their fielding was exceptional and the performance against the defending champions was exceptional. There was no Kane Williamson and Southee in the squad for the first match. But the convincing win Over England has helped them lead the table.
Strengths OF New Zealand in NZ vs NED 6th Match of the ICC World Cup
The batting lineup is the main strength of the Balck Caps in this tournament. They have a pair of openers, Devon Conway, and Young. Solid middle-order in the likes of Kane Williamson, Latham, Chapman, and Philips, all of whom are in prime form. All-rounders, Neesham and Ravindra. Quality spinners, Snatner, and Ravindra. And a perfect pace bowling attack, Trent Bolt, Matt Henry, Southee (if he plays).
Weaknesses Of the New Zealand Team
There is no such weakness in the Black Caps as of now. There might be an issue if Kane Williamson gets fit then who will be dropped from the team? The most probable player that Kane will replace is Rachin Ravindra but do you think that management will drop straight away after his heroic performance in the last match against England? So, playing the experienced injured players in the playing 11 will be an issue for the team.
Strengths of NED vs NZ in Match 6
The strengths of the Dutch team in this World Cup are the spinners and Bas de Leede, the all-rounder for the team. The spin bowling attack in good shape and subcontinent conditions will suit them. The pace attack is a decent one too.
Weakness of the Netherlands team vs New Zealand
The batting lineup is the main issue for the Man in Orange. They have to put enough runs on the board to challenge other teams. The batting lineup has no spark to show intent against big teams like New Zealand. So, they have to work on their batting lineup.
New Zealand is winning the match by a huge margin looking at the paper. New Zealand is far stronger than the Netherlands. The chances of winning the match in New Zealand are over 90%. These are New Zealand’s points to lose. They can lose it if they have an awfully off day today.
