Preview:
It’s now time for the ODI series after the only T20I at Napier was abandoned without a ball being bowled. Hosts New Zealand will take on the Netherlands in the first of the three matches in the ODI series on Tuesday. It’s a second-string New Zealand side with some of the first-team players not part of the squad since they are participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Tom Latham, who had led the side this summer in the absence of Kane Williamson, has been given the captaincy. They still have top-quality players such as Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Colin de Grandhomme.
It’s a massive opportunity for the touring Netherlands side to get exposed to the typical New Zealand conditions. They didn’t do well in the warm-up games as they lost both the one-dayers. It’s going to be a tough challenge for them despite facing a second-string side. They are currently ranked 14th in the ICC ODI rankings and they need a lot of circuses to move up.
