The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has commenced and all ten teams have played their first round of matches. Some shocking results, while some has been on the expected lines. New Zealand played the opening match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 and stunned everyone with their dominating performance to beat the defending champions England. The stars with the bat for the Kiwis in the absence of their captain Kane Williamson were Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra and by the looks of how they played, they are set to pose a significant threat for all their opposition. Meanwhile, Netherland's lost to Pakistan saw Bas de Leede as a lone warrior with both bat and ball. He definitely had support from Vikramjit Singh with the bat and it proved to be not enough. NZ vs NED, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Dutch Face Stern Test Following New Zealand’s High-Flying Start in CWC.

New Zealand are a team who design their mega event campaign by building up momentum with wins overs teams ranked lower then them.  Now that they have a start now, they will not want to have a slip up and continue to accumulate points. Lockie Ferguson is reportedly ready to get going and set to be back in the side, finally completing the Kiwi bowling attack. Tim Southee and Kane Williamson are still not ready. With Netherlands not being the most comfortable side against wrist spin, there might be a temptation of playing Ish Sodhi too.

Netherlands, on the other hand are set for a bigger test against New Zealand. They has a solid chance of winning the first game at one point in the game but the middle order didn't deliver under pressure. Colin Ackermann and Teja Nidamanuru will be particularly unhappy at the way and situation they lost their wickets. A better batting effort from Netherlands will surely give them a better chance against any side as they are always pushing the envelope with the ball.
