New Zealand consolidated the top spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023 standings with another impressive victory over Netherlands on Monday. Mitchell Santner produced an all-round performance and Tom Latham played his part to perfection with a gritty half-century as New Zealand emerged victorious by 99 runs. As a result, the Kiwis became the first team to have 4 points and they also have an impressive NRR (Net Run Rate) of +1.958. South Africa are second with 2 points and an even better NRR of +2.040 while Pakistan and Bangladesh are third and fourth respectively. India remain fifth with a NRR of 0.883.

Mitchell Santner produced a five-wicket haul to complement a superlative batting display as New Zealand continued their impressive run in the World Cup with a massive 99-run win over the Netherlands on Monday. Santner (5/59) spun a web around Netherlands who were all out for 223 in 46.3 overs on a sluggish pitch after Will Young (70), Rachin Ravindra (51) and Tom Latham (53) posted fifties to power New Zealand to 322 for 7. The 31-year-old Santner, who had provided the final flourish with a 17-ball 36 not out to push New Zealand's total, dismissed Max ODowd (16), Colin Ackermann (69), Scott Edwards (30), Roelof van der Merwe (1) and Ryan Klein (8), while Matt Henry (3/40) took three.

England, who now eye redemption, will take on Bangladesh in their next World Cup match on Tuesday. Ahead of the match, England skipper Buttler expressed his concerns over Dharamsala's outfield.
