New Zealand suffered an early wobble in their manageable 203-run chase, however, Will Young and Henry Nicholls kept the scoring board ticking and were at their fluent best. In the end, New Zealand registered a facile seven-wicket victory in the first ODI against the Netherlands at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Tuesday. Netherlands’ Michael Rippon’s all-round performance – he chipped in with 67 runs of 97 balls and took two crucial wickets in the game – went in vain.
