So that's it from this match. New Zealand gets an easy 10-points in ICC CWC Super League. Stay tuned in our websites and apps for the matches all around the globe. It's a ta-ta bye, bye from me AkshayaKrishna Polya who is signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Ayan Chatterjee and Akshay Bhide along with our scorer/analyst Ashok. We will meet in the next match. Until then, it's cheers..!!!
Pieter Seelaar | Netherlands Captain: "From the positive point of view, our spinners bowled very well. 202 was never going to be a challenging total but credit to the guys for hanging there. Quite frustrating to be honest as the ball was coming nicely onto the bat and we would have loved to build partnerships in the middle. The ball was going to spin in the later stages of the game due to its stickiness. The guys were tentative while batting and a few bad decisions cost us the game." 

Tom Latham | New Zealand Captain: "Yeah, every game you come out and play for a a win. Way the guys came out today after losing the toss and bowling first. The energy the bowlers brought with the new ball was outstanding. And with the bat it was a clinical finish. Obviously, a good start and looking for the next couple. With the ball I think Blair Tickner on his debut , the way he came in and brought lot off energy with the ball. Obviously, he got the rewards in terms of wickets. And I guess the challenge for us is how we can keep taking the wickets in the middle overs. And our bowlers did that. And with the bat, it was Will Young. The way he set the platform was really nice. He is a free flowing batter. Lot of guys missing this series due to IPL. But apart from a couple of players others have played for us in the past." 
Will Young | Player of the Match: "Very happy with my first ODI hundred and to win the game for the side was great. The team is a class side, the team plays good cricket, and we have to come and take our opportunities when it presents to us. We have to take the opportunities and as far as opening is concerned, I have batted at 3 before, so this was a good challenge, something I enjoyed it. It was a good performance and happy with the win more than my performance. "

Earlier, Pieter Seelaar, skipper of the Netherlands won the toss and opted to bat on a lush green pitch. Vikramjit Singh debuted for the Dutch while Michael Bracewell and Blair Tickner debuted for the hosts. Netherlands didn’t have a great start as this decision to bat first was proved to be wrong. Max O’Dowd and Stephan Myburgh opened for them. Kyle Jamieson and Matt Henry sent back both the openers by reducing them to 17/2. Vikramjit Singh (19 off 21) on debut showed some glimpses of his talent as he played some shots well. But then Blair Tickner, who too was on debut came into the attack and pushed the visitors back by picking up two more wickets in a matter of a couple of overs, reducing the Dutch to 45/5 in 13-overs. Colin de Grandhomme too chipped in with a caught and bowled. 

At this point in time, it was thought that the Black Caps would ease past the lower-middle order of the Netherlands. But that wasn’t the case as the Dutch skipper, Pieter Seelaar and Michael Rippon stood tall against these fiery bowlers and stitched together a pride saving partnership. They added 80-runs for the sixth wicket. Seelaar was Tickner’s third victim as he gloved one  down the leg side to the keeper. He anchored the innings with his 43 off 75-balls. In between there was a small rain break as well. Rippon, on the other hand, marched on and got to his 2nd ODI fifty. The Otago Volts player was the last man to be dismissed at his score of 67 from 97-balls. Some useful contributions came from Logan van Beek (14 off 14) and Philippe Boissevain (15 off 27) along with Rippon guided them past the 200-run mark. They were bundled out for 202 as they didn’t bat out their 50-overs.

It was an excellent debut to Blair Tickner as his figures read 10-0-50-4. Kyle Jamieson took three wickets for 45-runs in his 9.4-overs along with a maiden in it. Matt Henry was injured after his 8th over but before he contributed with a wicket. Colin de Grandhomme, and Michael Bracewell supported with a wicket each.

Akshaya: It was Tickner with the ball and Young with the bat. New Zealand have done it and Will Young has done it. Brilliant century by him sees his team home with seven wickets in hand and with 11.3-overs remaining.

Chasing an easy target of 203-runs to win, Kiwi’s too didn’t get off to a good start. They lost Martin Guptill very early in the piece as he edged one to the keeper in the bowling of Logan van Beek. Then Will Young and Henry Nicholls batted really well to keep the visitors at bay. Nicholls held an end up and Young took on the loose deliveries. He struck some glorious drives and pulls as it forced Seelaar to bring himself and Michael Rippon into the attack. It did keep the scoring rate on check. But they were not able to get past these two. In the process, Will Young completed his maiden ODI fifty while Henry Nicholls battled his way out to his 14th ODI fifty. Nicholls was anchoring the innings while Young was the aggressor. Both these added 162-runs for the second wicket before Nicholls (57 off 79) chopped on a length delivery in the bowling of Michael Rippon. The Legend Ross Taylor came to bat in at number 4 as he received a grand welcome by the Bay Oval crowd. He got a gentle full toss by Rippon to get off the mark. But sooner, he survived a review. Ross Taylor (11 off 17) didn’t enjoy the spin of Michael Rippon much as he ripped through the gates of Taylor, who for one final time walked back to the dug-out at the Bay Oval. Young took a long time from his 90s to reach on to his maiden ODI century. He converted his maiden ODI fifty to maiden ODI century. An excellent batting display by him as he was filling in the shoes of big fish, captain ice, Kane Williamson for this series. He finished the game and completed the century at the same time with a boundary over mid-off. He was unbeaten on 103 off 114 and Tom Latham was unbeaten on 8 off 11 at the end.   

The Dutch bowlers were erring in their lines more as they gave away too many wide deliveries. Logan Van Beek and  Michael Rippon were the two successful bowlers for them. Rippon collected two wickets while van Beek took a wicket in support of him. Fred Klaassen, Brandon Glover, Pieter Seelaar, Bas de Leede, and Philippe Boissevain tried hard to take the wicket but they couldn’t. Out of these Pieter Seelaar was very very tidy in his 10-overs but didn’t get any wicket to show for it.

With the loss, Netherlands will drop to the 13th spot in the ICC CWC Super League while the Kiwis after this win, go 4-wins in 4-matches.    

Akshay: That's a brilliant century from Will Young. His first in ODIs. Came in to bat in the fourth over and since then has looked unfazed. A well-composed innings from him and surely the first of many. 
38.3 P Boissevain to W Young
4 Lofts it down the ground over the bowlers' head for a boundary towards the long-off region and clinches the victory for New Zealand and gets to his maiden ODI hundred. A perfect way to end the innings and the match. Young gets to his hundred, wins the game for his side as the Kiwis win by 7 wickets with 11.3 overs to spare to take a 1-0 lead in this 3-match series. 
38.2 P Boissevain to W Young
2 Short and wide, Young cuts it away through the covers for a couple of runs. Young moves to 99 as the Kiwis get to 200 in 38.2 overs. 
38.1 to T Latham
1 Boissevain is back into the attack. Bowls on the pads, Latham tucks it around the corner for a single behind square.
