That concludes the proceedings for this match and series. A pretty one-sided result, as expected, but if you have followed it closely, there were moments when the Dutch team ran the Kiwis close. It's a good learning tour for them as they sign off. It's time for us to also bid you farewell. You can keep checking the fixture page for all the upcoming games. Until we meet again, it's goodbye and cheers.

'Ross the Boss' will be missed! What a champion player and what a career! With his retirement, the golden era of New Zealand cricket truly comes to an end. A few months back we saw his last in Test cricket and here he is, putting a full stop to his international career. Certainly, one of the icons of Kiwi cricket who played a massive role as a leader and in the supporting cast to lift the fortunes of the Black Caps. If the renaissance of New Zealand cricket is credited to Brendon McCullum, one must remember Taylor's contribution, both as the captain of the ship and the star batter of the team whose career almost flew under the radar. To have a 16-year old career in this day and age, to maintain fitness and to play consistently well at the top of your power - you need stamina, tenacity, courage, gumption, desire and character, and Luteru Ross Poutoa Lote Taylor had all those qualities in bulk. The Pallekele Plunderer bids adieu to this game and we have only appreciation and gratitude. Thanks for all the memories and those tongue-poke celebrations.

Ross Taylor, the man of the moment, talks for one final time as a New Zealand cricketer. He appreciates everyone who has contributed to his career. Praises the Dutch team and hopes that they play many more games against the big teams and get better. A special mention from him for the manager of the New Zealand team who is also moving on and wishes him best for his future. Rosco thanks his teammates and says that he will be watching from far how they will grow and will miss them all. He thanks his wife, parents, family and friends. Calls it a fantastic 16 years and shares that they have a massive influence on him as a cricketer and person. Lastly, an emotional Ross Taylor thanks the crowd for turning out in large numbers for this game.

Tom Latham, the winning captain of New Zealand, says that it's nice to finish the series off with a win. Tells that in this match, building the partnership was the key. Admits that with the ball, they weren't at their best but got the job done. Further says that the Dutch team put them under pressure on many occasions in this series and they got out of it really well. Adds that they will take positives and learnings from those games. Latham is happy with the way new players performed in the absence of the regular players and showed the depth of the squad. On Ross Taylor, Latham replies that he has been a massive servant to New Zealand cricket and it's going to be a different feeling to not have his name on the scoresheet. Further says that he appreciates every time he played with him and lauds the longevity of his successful career. Says that he loved having the Dutch team around and hopes that they will take many positives into their summer of cricket.

Pieter Seelaar, the Dutch skipper, says that it was a little bit disappointing, but New Zealand stepped up properly in the last game and the partnership between Guptill and Young was incredible. Mentions that they wanted to test themselves at a higher level and the idea was to see how long they can stay in the game. He wants his team to be more gutsy. Shares that the second game was special for them when they grabbed 5 quick wickets. On the knock of Stephan Myburgh, he calls it a vintage knock and is amazed at the way he signed off. Shares that they will go straight into their summer and start preparing for future assignments. Thanks the crowd for all the support.

Will Young is the Player of the Match and Series! Says it was tricky against the new balls, but they got off to a decent start and then carried the momentum. Mentions that Guptill played well and supported him when he was struggling and he did the same when Guptill struggled initially. Tells that it was good to get over 300 on the board. Concludes by saying that it was special to get his century with a six, and with Ross Taylor at the other end.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Early in the match, New Zealand's decision to bat first turned out to be correct. Despite losing an early wicket, they batted with full control and soon gained the upper hand. The pair of Martin Guptill and Will Young stitched in a big double century stand and both the batters completed their hundreds as well. The target set by them was always going to be tough but the Netherlands didn't surrender and tried their best.

After the first 10 overs, the Dutch team was never in the game as they struggled to keep up with the required rate and the pressure started to mount. A few batters got starts and spent time in the middle but their knocks were of no use in the context of the chase. Tom Latham kept rotating his bowlers smartly and everyone contributed.

Chasing a mammoth target, the Netherlands got off to a flying start courtesy of an incredible knock from Stephan Myburgh. They raced to 74 runs in Powerplay 1 and looked well in the hunt. That said, it was always a matter of one wicket for the Kiwis and Colin de Grandhomme provided them with that by removing Myburgh. His cunning slower ones were hard to get away with and Ish Sodhi's introduction further helped New Zealand in drying up the runs.

Farewell Ross Taylor! Handshakes and hugs all around. The crowd is on its feet to applaud him. Emotional moment for Rosco as he leads the players off the park. The series is won 3-0 by the Black Caps with a thumping victory.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! Ross Taylor leads his team out to the middle and the crowd cheers on doing so. An emotional moment for him! Stephan Myburgh and Max O'Dowd will open the batting for Netherlands. Matt Henry will begin with the new ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! The Netherlands need to chase 334 runs to end this series on a positive note. They will be up against a strong bowling attack though. Will they manage to pull this off? Do join us in a short while to find out.

Martin Guptill (106) comes up for a quick chat. Says that it was tough at the start and the plan with Will Young was to create a partnership and take it as deep as possible for the other batters to have a platform. On Ross Taylor, Guptill replies that it's been a great career and he has loved every bit of it.

The Netherlands got off to a good start, they got an early breakthrough, but then failed to capitalize on the same. They did add some sort of pressure at the start, but could not grab wickets. The bowlers had to toil hard on the field today and they were rewarded only towards the last 10 overs. They grabbed quick wickets and were on the road to recovery, but then lost their way once again. They leaked 106 runs in the last 10 overs but the silver lining was that they also grabbed 6 wickets. Although things could have been a lot worse for them. Not the best day with the ball, they gave away 12 wides and 4 no balls as well. Their batting has not been the best in this series, and now they have to chase down a mammoth total to get over the line. A challenging task for the batters now!

A good toss to win! After losing Henry Nicholls early on in the innings, Martin Guptill and  Will Young were batting watchfully on a sticky wicket and carefully planned their partnership. It was a measured approach from them initially and after the second Drinks break, they decided to attack more. Their massive double century stand put the Dutch team under immense pressure. But both perished soon after notching up their centuries. Tom Latham, Doug Bracewell, and Ish Sodhi played blistering cameos and guided their side to a total of 333! They will be mighty pleased and will be eyeing a clean sweep from here!

End of a scintillating batting performance from New Zealand! They have put a healthy total of 333 on the board, after getting off to a rather slow start. The Netherlands will be disappointed, they did manage to pull things back but lost their way towards the end again. They have a mountain to climb now.

49.54

FOUR! Misfield there and the bowler is not happy. Full in length, around middle, Jamieson shapes up for a big heave but it takes the outside edge. Michael Rippon, at short third man, thinks to go for the catch but then pulls out at the last moment. It lands and sneaks past him to find the fence.

49.41

Another yorker, around off, Sodhi keeps it out from the inside half his bat. It ricochets off his back pad to the off side and they cross.

49.31lb

OUT! Caught behind! Logan van Beek serves it on a fuller length and wide outside off, at 130.1 kph, Tom shuffles across the stumps and falls in the process of heaving it across the line. Gets a feather touch and Scott Edwards, the keeper, takes an easy catch. The appeal is made and the finger has gone up. Latham has an embarrassed smile on his face as he returns.

49.14

FOUR! Poor line and length with the field set. Delivers it on a length and outside off, Latham gets on the front foot and with a good extension of his arms, he smashes it over mid off for a boundary.

A touch short and on off, Latham turns and plays a short-arm jab to send it to deep mid-wicket. A single taken, 15 from the over. 6 balls left. How many more can the Kiwis get?

48.51

Fred Klaassen comes from 'round the wicket and digs in a short ball on middle, Ish pulls it to deep square leg for a run.

FOUR! This one is properly smacked! Back of a length, around leg, Ish Sodhi clears his front leg and muscles it down to cow corner for a boundary.

48.41wd

Wide! Full toss, down the leg side, Sodhi fails to connect.

48.36

SIX! That looked like a mishit but has gone the distance. Fuller in length, wide outside off at 115.2 kph, Sodhi throws his bat at it and gets a big top edge. The ball keeps on flying and clears long off.

48.21

Back of a length, around off, Tom punches it through covers for a single.

Slower length ball, around leg, it's tickled away to deep square leg for a run.

47.6W

OUT! BRILLIANTLY CAUGHT! Full and floated, around leg, Doug Bracewell goes down on one knee and tries to power it over square leg. He gets more height than distance and Bas de Leede takes a fine low catch, diving forward across to his right, at deep mid-wicket. The umpires get it checked upstairs and the replays find that the fingers are wrapped under the ball. That's brilliant, neat and clean. A wonderful cameo from Doug Bracewell comes to an end.

47.56

SIX! Smashed! Too easy this time. Flatter and wide outside off, short in length, Doug latches onto the width and rifles it all the way over wide long off.

47.46

SIX! High and long! 300 up for New Zealand! Flighted and full, outside off, Doug Bracewell swings his bat at it and sends it flying over long on for a biggie. That went a mile but just cleared the fence.

47.31

PUT DOWN! Flatter delivery, full and on middle at 93.7 kph, Latham drives it back to the bowler, it's aerial but bursts through the hands of Dutt. It goes down the ground and they take one.

47.24

FOUR! Quality! Loopy and full, landing around off, Tom Latham steps back to create room and lofts it nonchalantly over extra cover for a boundary.

47.10

Play and a miss! Quicker and fuller, outside off, Latham tries to play the slog-sweep but misses.

FOUR! Put away! Pace up from Fred, clocks 132 clicks but bowls it short and down the leg side, Doug Bracewell swivels on the back foot and pulls it easily down to fine leg for a boundary. 14 from the over, New Zealand are 11 away from the 300-run mark!

OUT! LBW! An inswinger from Bracewell, landing on a length around off and nipping back in, Max O'Dowd is caught on the back foot, trying to flick but misses.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! Ross Taylor leads his team out to the middle and the crowd cheers on doing so. An emotional moment for him! Stephan Myburgh and Max O'Dowd will open the batting for Netherlands. Matt Henry will begin with the new ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! The Netherlands need to chase 334 runs to end this series on a positive note. They will be up against a strong bowling attack though. Will they manage to pull this off? Do join us in a short while to find out.

Martin Guptill (106) comes up for a quick chat. Says that it was tough at the start and the plan with Will Young was to create a partnership and take it as deep as possible for the other batters to have a platform. On Ross Taylor, Guptill replies that it's been a great career and he has loved every bit of it.

The Netherlands got off to a good start, they got an early breakthrough, but then failed to capitalize on the same. They did add some sort of pressure at the start, but could not grab wickets. The bowlers had to toil hard on the field today and they were rewarded only towards the last 10 overs. They grabbed quick wickets and were on the road to recovery, but then lost their way once again. They leaked 106 runs in the last 10 overs but the silver lining was that they also grabbed 6 wickets. Although things could have been a lot worse for them. Not the best day with the ball, they gave away 12 wides and 4 no balls as well. Their batting has not been the best in this series, and now they have to chase down a mammoth total to get over the line. A challenging task for the batters now!

A good toss to win! After losing Henry Nicholls early on in the innings, Martin Guptill and  Will Young were batting watchfully on a sticky wicket and carefully planned their partnership. It was a measured approach from them initially and after the second Drinks break, they decided to attack more. Their massive double century stand put the Dutch team under immense pressure. But both perished soon after notching up their centuries. Tom Latham, Doug Bracewell, and Ish Sodhi played blistering cameos and guided their side to a total of 333! They will be mighty pleased and will be eyeing a clean sweep from here!

End of a scintillating batting performance from New Zealand! They have put a healthy total of 333 on the board, after getting off to a rather slow start. The Netherlands will be disappointed, they did manage to pull things back but lost their way towards the end again. They have a mountain to climb now.

The keeper collects the ball and breaks the stumps. They appeal and it's referred upstairs. The third umpire first checks for the involvement of the bat but it's missing. The side-on angle then shows that Michael's bat is in the air when the stumps were broken. Called a wide as well but the Netherlands won't mind that extra, at least.

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Logan van Beek strikes and he gets the wicket of Ross Taylor. A fuller ball, around middle at 111 kph. Ross Taylor gets down on his knee and tries to smack this across the line but the ball goes off the top edge towards the leg side. Logan van Beek runs there, keeps his eyes on the ball and pouches it safely at mid-wicket. A man famous for his slog-sweeps departs while attempting that in his final international outing. Everyone standing in appreciation, clapping and applauding a very decorated career. Emotional moment for Rosco and he is doing his best to hide his tears - and we get to see the tongue-poke also. Tears rolled down the cheeks of his mother though in the stands. It's a proud moment for her as well.

Michael Bracewell walks in next.

SIX! Will Young also brings up his century in style, with a biggie! This is his second ODI hundred, both coming in this ODI series.

Drinks break. Smooth sailing for the Kiwis. The second-wicket stand is worth 163 runs and both Martin Guptill and Will Young are going strong. They have adopted a measured approach which is needed on this surface and are preparing a handy launchpad for the backend. The Netherlands have tried hard but without much success.

Caught? Nopes, the fielder has released the ball. Bas de Leede drops it short now, around middle, Will Young pulls it towards deep mid-wicket. Max O'Dowd takes the catch but isn't aware where the boundary cushion is. He thought he is falling over the rope and released the ball. The replays show that he had more room to work with.

The players have made their way out in the middle for the national anthems. It's a bit odd to have it in the final ODI but it was requested by Ross Taylor. One final time for the big man with his boys and he has his kids alongside as well. Truly an emotional moment.

Netherlands (Playing XI) - Stephan Myburgh, Max O'Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards (WK), Michael Rippon, Pieter Seelaar (C), Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Fred Klaassen, Clayton Floyd (In for Brandon Glover).

New Zealand (Playing XI) - Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Will Young, Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (C/WK), Michael Bracewell, Colin de Grandhomme, Doug Bracewell, Ish Sodhi, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry (In for Blair Tickner).

TOSS - New Zealand have won the toss and they have elected to BAT first.

Netherlands have shown glimpses of how threatening they can be with the ball in the previous game. However, it’s their batting that has been a concern and they will want to step up in this final game and give a tough fight to the opposition. The visitors will have to bring their A-game forward to come out on top this time and avoid a whitewash. Will they get over the line this time? We will find out. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates...

New Zealand have put up dominating performances in both the games and have clinched the series with ease. Although they were in a lot of trouble in the previous game after losing half their side within 10 overs, Tom Latham guided his side to a healthy total of 264 and the bowlers did the rest. Their bowling unit has been exceptional so far and they will want to replicate the same coming into this final game. This will also mark Ross Taylor's final international game. With over 8500 runs in One Day Internationals, he will be ending his career as the highest run-scorer for New Zealand. Today will be the last time we see Ross Taylor in action!

Hello and a warm welcome to the third and the final ODI of this exciting series between New Zealand and Netherlands. The hosts have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in this series, while the Netherlands have not been able to get over the line yet. However, they will be hoping to win the last ODI and end this series on a positive note.

... MATCH DAY ...
