Betting Dynamics: New Zealand is the crowd favorite at 1.06 odds, while the Dutch, the underdogs, are placed at 8.50.
Players to Watch:
- For the Kiwis: Batsmen like Devon Conway, with his consistent form and a recent scintillating ton, along with Rachin Ravindra, Tom Latham, and Will Young are the ones to keep an eye on. Bowlers like Trent Boult, the spearhead with a knack for picking crucial wickets, and Matt Henry, who was the star against England, will be crucial.
- For Netherlands: The batting prowess of Bas de Leede, Vikramjit Singh, Max O’Dowd, and Colin Ackermann can’t be ignored. In the bowling department, Aryan Dutt’s off-spin and Logan van Beek’s white-ball expertise will be pivotal.

Betting Recommendations:
- Back Devon Conway to be NZ’s top scorer. With his current form, expecting him to score over 31.5 runs seems like a safe bet.
- Trent Boult, two wickets away from the 200 ODI wicket mark, is a solid choice for NZ’s top wicket-taker.
- For the Dutch, Bas de Leede, with his solid form and Logan van Beek, with his recent performances, should be your go-to choices for top run-scorer and wicket-taker respectively.
