Netherlands vs New Zealand ICC World T20 2014: New Zealand take crucial wickets
World T20: Kiwis take crucial wickets
Mar 29, 2014
In the crucial Group 1 encounter of ICC World T20 2014 played between Netherlands and New Zealand at Chittagong, after steady start by Netherlands, they lost the wicket of Stephan Myburgh off the bowling of Trent Boult. He had even essayed a fine square-cut followed by a hoick over mid-wicket for a six.
Once he was out, Wesley Barresi too lost his wicket to Mitchell McClenaghan’s bowling. Netherlands’ tendency to either slog or just defend isn’t helping them. They need to rotate the strike.
Earlier, Myburgh, by standing leg-side off the ball made a fine start for Netherlands. The left-handed batsman played a fine square-cut while up against the steady seamer, Kyle Mills. He was also looking to play straight down the ground of Mills’s bowling. It is clear that he is a fine striker off the ball.
Michael Swat on the other hand, played and missed a few deliveries, before playing a pull shot off Boult. Both New Zealand pacers were generally short. Boult, known for his ability to swing the ball late needed to pitch it up more. Up against a better side, it could have been worse for New Zealand.
