Stay tuned for the toss and team news.

New Zealand put up a complete performance in the previous game, they dismissed the visitors for a below-par score and Will Young’s sublime century ensured that they come out on top comfortably. They will want to stick to their plans and replicate the same kind of show and clinch the series.

Hello and a warm welcome to the second ODI of the three-match series between New Zealand and Netherlands.
