Kane Williamson, who is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that he suffered earlier this year, will not be available for today’s match against the Netherlands. But the team are set to be boosted by the availability of pacers Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson as they look to continue their strong start to the group stage at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

The key to the next few matches would be how quickly they adapt to the conditions. “It comes down to who can adjust to the conditions on the day, as most of us are all actually very foreign to these conditions, barring probably guys who have had a lot of success in the IPL over the years,’’ said all-rounder Glenn Phillips.
