Match number 6 of the ODI World Cup 2023 saw New Zealand beat the Netherlands by 99 runs. The game on Monday was played in Hyderabad and the Kiwis were clinical with the bat and ball. This loss was the Netherlands team’s second loss in a row after losing their opening game to Pakistan. The Kiwis, on the other hand, had beaten defending champions England in their opening game of the tournament.
Scott Edwards elected to bowl after he won the toss for his side. Kane Williamson did not play as he still wasn’t fit to take the field. There was one change for Tom Latham’s team as Lockie Ferguson replaced Jimmy Neesham. The Dutch team also made two changes to their playing XI.
