12.1 OUT! TAKEN! Roelof van der Merwe draws first blood! This is a huge wicket for Netherlands as the dangerous Devon Conway walks back to the hut now. This is floated, full and around middle, turning in, Devon Conway skips down the track to heave it away but fails to get under it and hits it with the toe-end in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Bas de Leede moves forward and pouches it safely. Roelof van der Merwe is pumped up as New Zealand lose their first wicket. 67/1

26.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Paul van Meekeren breaks the stand and Will Young has to depart now. Van Meekeren bowls into intp the pitch and over the off pole. Young looks to hang back and short-arm pull it over mid-wicket but the ball isn't that short. Young ends up toe-ending it up high in the air and just beyond mid on. Bas de Leede over there, backtracks a bit and takes a good catch. Young departs after a solid knock as Netherlands pick up their second wicket. 144/2

32.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A soft dismissal but Netherlands won't mind one bit. Rachin Ravindra goes back right after getting to his half-century. Roelof van der Merwe bowls this quicker, short and around leg, angling in, Rachin Ravindra looks to flick it away but only manages to get a slight nick behind where Scott Edwards moves to his left and takes a really sharp catch. New Zealand three down now! 185/3

40.1 OUT! BOWLED! A clever change in pace from Paul van Meekeren and he has struck right at the beginning of the death overs. A big wicket. This one pitches on a shortish length at 122.6 kph and stays a bit low. Daryl Mitchell hangs on the back foot to have a swing at it across the line but is first beaten for the lack of pace and then for the lack of bounce. It goes through to rattle the stumps and New Zealand lose a set batter at a crucial juncture. 238/4

48.4 OUT! STUMPED! Aryan Dutt gets his man! Really clever bowling from him and Tom Latham goes back after a nicely played knock. Aryan Dutt sees the batter advance and bowls this slower through the air, on off, turning away too, Tom Latham is halfway down the pitch and gets beaten by the flight as well as the spin, Scott Edwards collects it behind the stumps and takes the bails off easily. New Zealand seven down now! 293/7

41.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Bas de Leede gets a wicket and it's yet another big blow to the Black Caps given the hitting prowess of Glenn Phillips in the death overs. A 134.2 kph length delivery, landing outside off and carries a hint of outward movement behind it. Glenn shows zero footwork as he tries to blast it through covers but all he gets is an outside edge and Scott Edwards makes no mistake behind the stumps. A good phase of play for the Dutch team, they are certainly looking to end things on a high. 247/5

44.1 OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure was building on Mark Chapman and he has succumbed. Flighted delivery, around off and turning away a bit. Mark Chapman makes room to go inside-out over extra cover but it takes the outside half his bat. The ball flies behind point and the ever-so-athletic Roelof van der Merwe sprints behind to take the catch with a dive. Mark got too far from the line of the delivery and that brought his downfall. New Zealand need to be wary here, another wicket and they could waste a few balls towards the end. 254/6

6 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Matt Henry draws first blood! Vikramjit Singh fails to make much impact in this game. Henry lands this on a good length and around middle, skids through the surface and straightens, Vikramjit Singh gets stuck in his crease as he tries to fend it off but plays completely down the wrong line as the ball ratlle the middle pole. Netherlands loses their first wicket! 21/1

10.5 OUT! LBW! Trapped in front! Brilliant variation from Mitchell Santner as he bowls this one flatter and quicker around middle. The ball comes on with the arm and slides on as well. Max O'Dowd gets caught on the crease as he tries to work it away off the back foot but misses and the umpire's finger goes up as soon as there's an appeal. Both openers back in the hut now for Netherlands. 43/2

32.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal and Colin Ackermann has thrown it away! Mitchell Santner bowls it a bit short and takes it across the off stump. Ackermann pre-meditates for the reverse hit but gets himself in an awkward position. Ackermann goes through with the top and ends up getting a top edge in front of short third where Matt Henry takes a simple catch in front of him. Ackermann departs for 69 and Netherlands have now lost half their side. 157/5

16.4 OUT! TAKEN! Trent Boult with the first sensational catch on the boundary ropes of the tournament. Rachin Ravindra holds this one back a touch and floats it up on off stump. Bas de Leede makes a bit of room and looks to go inside-out over extra cover but ends up chipping it down to long off. Boult over there leaps up to take the catch but as he starts to fall over, he throws the ball up in the air and jumps back inside the ropes, taking it with both hands, sublime effort. Netherlands lose their third wicket. 67/3

25.4 OUT! RUN OUT! A huge mix-up in the middle has cost Netherlands a wicket here! This is full and on middle, Colin Ackermann flicks it wide of deep square leg and sets off for a run, Teja Nidamanuru turns around for the second and Ackermann responds too but he sends his partner back very late, Lockie Ferguson throws it well wide to the keeper's end where Tom Latham collects and still has enough time to break the stumps with Teja nowhere to be seen. Netherlands lose a set batter just as when they were building a partnership here. 117/4

34.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Mitchell Santner has the last laugh here as he uses those boundaries early in the over to tempt the batter into making a mistake. Santner gives this one much more flight and pushes it wider of the off stump as well. Scott Edwards looks for the slog-sweep but ends up reaching for it and slices it high up over the bowler's head. Santner calls for it, takes a few steps back and to his right and pouches it safely Edwards now departs after a good start and New Zealand in complete control at the moment. 174/6

45 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The short ball has worked for Lockie Ferguson but credit must also go to Devon Conway for an excellent catch in the deep. Ferguson bangs this short once again, on middle, Sybrand Engelbrecht goes for the pull but gets a bit hurried and fails to get the elevation as the ball flies in the air wide of deep square leg where Conway is well inside the from the ropes and puts in a spectacular dive to his right to take the catch. New Zealand one wicket away from the win now! 218/9

36.3 OUT! CAUGHT! This time Mitchell Santner gets his man. Slightly shorter and on leg stump, Roelof van der Merwe goes for the reverse sweep once again and seems to have got a decent connection. The ball though goes toward backward point and there's not enoygh elevation on it. Matt Henry over there leaps up and takes a sharp chance as Mitchell Santner picks up his fourth wicket of the game. 180/7

41.1 OUT! LBW! Mitchell Santner has five now! He floats this one up, full and around middle, angles in and turns away a shy bit, Ryan Klein stays in his creases and tries to work it away but gets squared up as the turn away takes it past his bat and hits him on the pads right in the front of the stumps. There is an appeal for the LBW, and up goes the finger. Klein reviews it, but UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking indicates three reds. Netherlands lose Ryan Klein and the review as well! 198/8

46.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Matt Henry wraps up proceedings in style for the Kiwis! Bowls it pace on at just over 131 clicks but nails the in-dipping yorker. This one is bowled on middle but tails in a bit late as Aryan Dutt is caught flat-footed and the ball goes through bat and pad to castle into the stumps. Henry finishes off with three wickets and New Zealand rack up another big win by 99 runs. 223/10
