WATCH: Trent Boult takes incredible juggling catch to dismiss Netherlands’ star allrounder Bas de Leede in ODI World Cup clash
New Zealand and the Netherlands are clashing against each other in the 6th match of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 in Hyderabad on Monday, October 9. The Blackcaps were asked to bat first after which they posted a total of 322 runs on the scoreboard with the help of collective effort from all New Zealand’s top-order batters.

It was a tossed-up delivery from Rachin Ravindra, de Leede cleared his front leg and tried to chip it a bit square but ended up hitting it straighter. Boult at long-off took it reverse cup near the fence. He was aware that the momentum would take him over the ropes so he flicked the ball back with his left hand before going beyond the ropes and returned to the field of play and took it calmly.
Brilliant batting performance by New Zealand
This spectacular catch by Boult was very crucial as de Leede is in his prime form. During Netherland’s first match which was against Pakistan, the star allrounder displayed a brilliant batting performance by hitting an incredible half-century, however, it went into vain as no other batter could help him.
Talking about the match, New Zealand batters scored runs at a low rate as the pitch was quite tricky. Opener Will Young played a brilliant knock of 70 runs which included 7 fours and 2 sixes. Rachin Ravindra continued his bright form and smashed a half-century. Skipper Tom Latham looked in good touch as he scored 53 runs off just 46 balls.
However, it was Mitchell Santner, who pushed the New Zealand’s innings in the end by playing a quickfire knock of 36 runs off just 17 balls. During this, he smashed 3 fours and 2 sixes and helped the team to achieve a respectable total of 322 runs.
