Mitchell Santner played a blistering innings and then took five wickets to guide New Zealand to a convincing 99-run win over the Netherlands in a World Cup match in Hyderabad.
The 31-year-old left-hander clubbed a 17-ball 36 not out in New Zealand’s imposing total of 322-7 before achieving figures of 5-59.Santner, the first New Zealand spinner to take five wickets in a World Cup match, dominated the Dutch who were bowled out for 223 in 46.3 overs.
Netherlands were never in the hunt in the chase as they lost Vikramjit Singh , Max O’Dowd and Bas de Leede in the first 17 overs with just 67 on the board. “New Zealand have a disciplined bowling attacking though and they aren’t going to let that sort of total be easy for you.”
