Captain Tom Latham carried his bat to score 140 runs on Saturday as New Zealand (NZ) recovered from 34-5 to a beat the Netherlands by 118 runs in the second One Day International Cricket match. New Zealand hold a winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series after winning the first match by seven wickets. The Netherlands had New Zealand under immense pressure on Saturday when, after winning the toss, it made good use of the short ball to rip through New Zealand’s top order. Fred Klaasen and Logan van Beek did the damage, leaving New Zealand 34-5. Klaasen dismissed Martin Guptill for 6 and Ross Taylor in his penultimate international match before retirement for 1.
