New Zealand cricket team will be eyeing a clean sweep when they take Netherlands on in two-match series that kickstarts on August 4 (Thursday). Black Caps will be looking at the series as a preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 scheduled to take place in Australia later this year. All the participating teams are looking to try out as many players as possible so that can zero in on their final 15 squad. The Kiwis are coming into the series on back of  a dominating series win vs Ireland. New Zealand blanked the Irish 3-0 each in ODI and T20I series. They will be looking to  do the same vs Netherlands but it won't be easy as the home team has been playing good cricket of late. New Zealand will be led by Mitchell Santner. Kane Williamson will be missing in this series as well as he is healing his elbow injury.
