Please note that, upon mutual agreement, the second T20I match between the Netherlands and the BLACKCAPS, initially scheduled for August 6 starting 5pm (NLT) has been moved to Friday August 5, starting 5pm (NLT). This translates to Saturday, August 6, 3am (NZT). The change is a result of a cancelled connecting flight affecting the BLACKCAPS’ transfer to the West Indies.
The New Zealand national cricket team, known as the Black Caps, made their Test debut in 1930 against England in Christchurch, becoming the fifth nation to play Test cricket. After waiting 26 years for their first Test win against the West Indies in 1956, they also played their first ODI in 1972–73 against Pakistan. New Zealand are the inaugural World Test Championship champions (2021) and have won the ICC Champions Trophy (2000). They have reached the Cricket World Cup final twice and the T20 World Cup final once.
