Mitchell Santner picked up a five-wicket haul as New Zealand recorded their second consecutive win at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 on Monday.
An all-round effort by Santner (36* off 17 balls; 5/59) ensured that the Kiwis picked up two out of two wins at the event. New Zealand had a monstrous night with the bat as well, with Will Young (70), Rachin Ravindra (51), and Tom Latham (53) all scoring half-centuries.
Batting first, New Zealand posted a whopping total of 322 runs on the board. Devon Conway and Will Young gave a solid start to the Kiwis, with Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and Tom Latham all coming up with the goods in the middle order. Mitchell Santner played the role of a floater very well, with his unbeaten knock of 36.
In response, Netherlands were bowled out for 223 in under 47 overs. Colin Ackermann had another impressive outing at the World Cup, scoring 69 runs. Mitchell Santner picked five wickets, while Matt Henry bagged three for himself.
