New Zealand will lock horns with the Netherlands in their second match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, the capital city of the state of Telangana.
Kane Williamson, the skipper of the New Zealand cricket team, was absent in the World Cup opener against England.
Despite his absence, the Kiwis had an impressive 9-wicket victory over the defending champions. Tom Latham is likely to continue leading the team, as New Zealand is not rushing players back and giving them time to recover.

New Zealand has made a strong start to the tournament, and Latham aims to capitalize on this momentum, especially as they are facing a relatively inexperienced side in the upcoming contest.
Whereas, one of the key strengths of the Netherlands team is its all-rounders, and Scott Edwards is looking for strong performances from them, recognizing them as a real asset to the team.
In terms of batting, the team is hoping for a solid start from Vikramjit Singh and Max O'Dowd. The middle order, featuring experienced players like Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, and Teja Nidamanuru, will play a crucial role in building and stabilizing the innings.
Edwards himself is a capable hitter and will aim to provide quick runs down the order along with Saqib Zulfiqar and Logan Van Beek.
