The New Zealand cricket team is all set to lock horns against the Netherlands on October 9 at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Notably, the Black Caps registered a magnificent win against the defending champions in the opening game of the ODI World Cup 2023 on October 5 at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad.
In addition, the Kiwis will be looking to win the trophy of the marquee event, as their side is one of the most successful teams to have reached the playoffs in the history of the ODI World Cup. New Zealand has reached the finals of the 2015 and 2019 World Cups but suffered great losses against Australia and England, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands gave a great fight against Babar Azam and Co.. Still, they could not continue that momentum and lost their opening game on October 6 at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. The Dutch team showed their stellar performance in the Cricket World Cup Qualifier and grabbed the second spot to make their way into the marquee event.
The weather in New Zealand vs Netherlands clash of ODI World Cup 2023 is expected to be clear
Meanwhile, speaking about the weather here, the weather in Hyderabad is expected to be primarily clear. It clearly means there is no possibility that rain will interfere with the match between New Zealand and the Netherlands on October 9. Moreover, the humidity is expected to be between 53 and 69 per cent, whereas the temperature could fall between 23 and 33 degrees. Notably, this is a great sign, as one can completely witness the 100 overs of the game during the play.
However, the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is well-known for providing an even playing surface that gives both batters and bowlers equal support during the game. In addition, it seems that pacers should excel, as the pitch has an ideal bounce. The chasing side has a higher chance of winning as we expect a high-scoring match in Hyderabad.
