New Zealand vs Netherlands takes place in the ICC World T20 2014 on Saturday. The Netherlands almost caused a massive upset in their last game by almost defeating South Africa. However, they will be hoping to get over the line in this one and gain a first win of the tournament.
The game is scheduled to start at 9.30 a.m. GMT (5.30 a.m. ET) and can be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.
Even though the Netherlands have no hope now of reaching the semi finals of the competition, they will be desperate to gain a win in this year's competition, and they will have gained great confidence through their showing against South Africa.
However, New Zealand have a very real chance of making the semi finals, but their chances may come down to run rate, and this is the game they will have highlighted to potentially get their run rate up.
At the moment New Zealand are in third place in the table, but of course need to get into the top two to claim their place in the last four. They currently have two points, and will be hoping to move to four points with a win here. If so, they would move forward level on points with Sri Lanka, whom they would be playing in their final group game.
New Zealand must bat better than they did against South Africa if they are to win here and gain a big pick me up in the run rate department. Against South Africa they were poor with the bat and need to improve from here on out if they want to make the latter stages of the tournament.
However, not just with the bat, but with the ball too, they have not been able to claim as many wickets as they'd like. Nathan McCullum has been economical but they will want to see more penetration.
