Opener Will Young, Rachin Ravindra and Tom Latham struck half centuries as New Zealand overcame some tight bowling by the Netherlands to post 322-7 in their World Cup clash on Monday.

Having once played in the same South Africa team as Dale Steyn, AB de Villiers and Jacques Kallis, Roelof van der Merwe has finally made it to a World Cup -- with the Netherlands.

New Zealand pace duo of Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson are fit to return for Monday's World Cup match against the Netherlands but regular skipper Kane Williamson will continue to sit out, head coach Gary Stead said on Sunday.
