Black Caps

For a time, it looked like the Black Caps would fall to the most embarrassing defeat in their history.

It proved to be too many runs for the Dutch to chase down on a difficult batting pitch, especially when both openers were dismissed inside the first seven balls of the innings. After an hour of play at Hamilton's Seddon Park on Saturday afternoon, it looked like the Black Caps were set to crumble to the most embarrassing defeat in their ODI history. The Black Caps will be blowing a sigh of relief, having recovered from an abysmal top order collapse to comfortably win by 118 runs in the second ODI against the Netherlands in Hamilton.
