The Netherlands will be facing Ireland in the 6th T20I of the tri-series at the Sportspark Westvliet in The Hague. The hosts have lost their last two consecutive matches and will be looking to finish on a winning note.
Skipper Scott Edwards will need his key players at the top to deliver a good start and set the tone for the match. They must fire right away so that the home team can put their recent loss behind them and get off to a flying start.
Ireland, on the other hand, have been unbeaten so far with two wins and a washed-out match in this tournament. It was a very close game the last time these two teams met with Ireland winning by just 1 run.
Ireland’s key players in the top 3 found their rhythm in their recent outing and will be confident coming into this match. Ireland’s top and middle-order failed against the Dutch bowling last time around except for Lorcan Tucker.
The hosts were right on top as their bowlers reduced Ireland to 4 for 65 in the 10th Over in the 2nd T20I of this tri-series. However, a spirited fightback from the visitors led by Mark Adair’s 49 off 24 balls at number 8 saw Netherlands chasing a target of 151 runs.
Nevertheless, it was still the home team’s game to lose. 151 isn’t a huge total and the Dutch must be well adapted to the home conditions and should have had the upper hand.
After a few good partnerships at the top, the Netherlands suffered a batting collapse as they went from 102 for 4 to 109 for 7. It was Tim Pringle’s unbeaten 35 off 13 balls that got the Dutch closer to victory.
Max ODowd, Vikramjeet Singh, and Bas de Leede as the key players in the top 4 of this batting lineup. These three need to build partnerships regularly for the team to reach a competitive total.
The Netherlands were bowled out for 87 runs in their last outing against Scotland. There’s a lot of work to be done to bounce back from that and set up or chase a competitive total.
However, their bowlers are in great shape and will be crucial in helping the team stage a comeback. Vivian Kingma, Tim Pringle, and Logan van Beek are the key bowlers to watch out for.

Ireland are looking good as they take on the hosts for the last time in this tri-series. After struggling to put 150 on the board in their opening game, they were quick to bounce back.
Taking on Scotland in their last match, Ireland saw all of their key batters in the top 4 find their rhythm as they successfully chased down a 158-run target. This is a solid-looking batting lineup with some power-hitters in all the key positions.
They haven’t lived up to the promise they showed a couple of years ago but they are still much stronger than any other batting lineup in this tri-series.
Andrew Balbirne and Paul Stirling pack a lot of experience at the top followed by the talented and promising Lorcan Tucker at number 3. Tucker and Harry Tector have scored plenty of runs together in the past. These two batters will be crucial in the middle-order to build partnerships and set Ireland on course to a match-winning total.
Mark Adair, a right-arm fast bowler showed his big-hitting skills against the Netherlands. He is a handy batter lower down the order. However, Ireland also have bowling all-rounders like Curtis Campher and George Dockrell at 5 and 6, who can make quite an impact.
Craig Young and Mark Adair will be leading the pace attack for Ireland. These two are reliable wicket-takers for the team. In the spin department, Benjamin White and Curtis Campher are crucial figures with their right-arm leg break bowling.

It is a balanced wicket where the bowlers have found plenty of help. Batters need to be a little cautious but they can also find a lot of runs once they are set on the pitch. There will be an even contest between the bat and the ball on this surface.
Sportpark Westvliet in The Hague will be the venue for the 6th and last match of the Netherlands T20I Tri-Series 2024. The venue has hosted all the games so far and we expect there to be a little wear and tear on the pitch. A 160+ runs 1st innings total will be a match-winning score on this ground.
The team batting first has won 3 of 4 matches in this tournament so far. It is not an easy track to score runs and chasing will not be easy for either team considering the bowling strengths of both squads. As a result, bowling first should be the preferred option.
Though the hosts suffered a humiliating loss in their last outing, they’ve got the firepower and overall squad strength to bounce back handsomely. Ireland are coming into this game with a convincing win in their last match and have their key players in great form. We reckon it will be a close contest between the two teams. Ireland, with their superior batting, will find the edge in our match prediction, and start as favorties to win.
