... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then, Netherlands need 323 runs to win and what a famous win it would be if they do get there. New Zealand though do have some world-class bowlers in their ranks and it will be interesting to see if the dew plays a role later on or not. Join us for the exciting run chase in a bit.

Paul van Meekeren is down for a quick chat. He says that he is happy with his bowling effort but would have liked to be better. Adds that he was just trying to execute his plans. He says that at one point, it was looking like the score would be around 350 and they wanted to restrict them under 300, but in the end, they got somewhere in the middle. Jokingly says that he doesn't want to give a lot away on the wicket of Daryl Mitchell as the Kiwis might be listening. Mentions he just wanted to bowl at the stumps. Further adds that the boys gained confidence in the qualifiers chasing big totals and they have chased 374 against West Indies so he is confident about the batting unit.

Netherlands will be a bit gutted to have lost all the momentum in that last over as they bowled fairly well in the final 10 overs but now need their greatest effort with the bat in an ODI run chase to get the victory here. The wickets were fairly shared between the bowlers but the likes of Aryan Dutt and Paul van Meekeren used the slowness of the pitch well on a few occasions. Bas de Leede proved to be dependable once again but was put to the sword in the final over by Mitchell Santner. They had a chance to restrict New Zealand to under 300 runs but will still feel that they are in the game.

The Kiwis started slowly but soon enough both openers got in the groove and put on 67 runs for the first wicket before Devon Conway got out. Will Young and Rachin Ravindra then stitched together another solid partnership as both batters brought up half-centuries and Daryl Mitchell too made an useful contribution of 48 runs. After being 238/3m in 40 overs, they lost 3 wickets in the next 5 overs which pushed them back but skipper Tom Latham scored a fighting half-ton and in the end one lusty blow from Matt Henry and a very handy cameo from Mitchell Santner took the Kiwis to a good total.

What an end to the first innings! A really good battle between bat and ball in the first half of this match but at the halfway mark, it will be New Zealand who will go into the dressing room feeling much better thanks to those fireworks from Mitchell Santner in the final over.
