Hong Kong Women’s tour of the Netherlands included 5 T20Is to be played at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd, Utrecht. The opening match saw the hosts winning the toss and opting to bat first.
On a low-scoring venue where teams bowling first have won 20 of the 28 T20s, the Netherlands Women were an exception as they posted 172 runs against Hong Kong Women.
The average 1st innings score at this venue is less than 100 runs. Hong Kong Women found the early breakthrough in the 5th Over but later failed to pick up consistent wickets allowing the hosts to build stronger partnerships.
Betty Chan and Kary Chan were the top performers with the ball for Hong Kong and will be the ones to watch out for in this match as well. They were economical while finding a wicket each.
However, Hong Kong’s batting leaves a lot to expect. They lost 3 wickets in the powerplay with only 1 of their top 4 batters scoring in double digits. Skipper Natasha Miles will be expected to lead from the front as an opener in this batting lineup.

Netherlands Women are off to a strong start in this 5-match T20Is series. Iris Zwelling and Babette de Leede led the batting effort with some impressive knocks and also added 54 runs for the 3rd wicket.
Leede’s 72 off 54 helped the hosts reach a highly competitive score as they ensured she was around for a long time and built another partnership with Robine Rijke.
It is a strong top 4 in this batting lineup and we expect them to carry the momentum into the 2nd T20I as well. The opposition hasn’t looked threatening enough to put any sort of pressure on the hosts.
Opening batter Sterre Laurien Kalis was off to a steady start but fell prey to Betty Chan in the 5th Over. Kalis should be looking to convert her good starts into something bigger.
They will have the momentum on their side and should be looking to attack in every department. The bowlers were exceptional while defending the 170-run total as they struck very early on and continued delivering consistent breakthroughs.
Caroline de Lange and Hannah Landheer got through the top order of Hong Kong. Silver Siegers and Frederique Overdijk bowled very economical spells while cleaning up the lower middle order.

Nathasha Miles will be disappointed with her team’s performance in the 1st T20I of the series. Hong Kong Women finished with just 86 for 9 while chasing a target of 171 runs.
The skipper was one of the 3 run-outs in the Hong Kong innings. Other top-order batters in this lineup struggled to even score at run-a-ball. Shanzeen Shahzad, the number 3 batter was the second wicket to fall for Hong Kong.
She managed to score just 8 off 14 balls while Kary Chan scored 7 off 14 at number 4. Yasmin Daswani was the top scorer for Hong Kong Women with 29 off 27 balls at number 6.
Only two batters in this lineup managed to score in double digits. Looking at this batting performance, it looks like a long way for Hong Kong Women to be able to post a winning score against the hosts.
It has been a low-scoring venue, but Hong Kong conceded 170 runs at the venue. They weren’t able to trouble the Netherlands as Bangladesh once did. They will need their key batters to find their rhythm soon if they are to stay alive in the series.
Betty Chan and Kary Chan were among the most successful bowlers for Hong Kong Women. Maryam Bibi and Mei Wai Siu are other key players in the bowling attack for the visitors.

It is a bowling friendly pitch where batters can score runs once they are settled. It will require patience on the batter’s part to be successful on this surface. There will be rain on the match day in Utrecht with a high of 20 degrees Celsius.
Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht will be the venue for all the matches in this T20I series between Netherlands Women and Hong Kong Women. The average 1st innings score here is just under 100 but the Netherlands Women showed in the last game that even 160+ can be achieved here. We reckon something around 150-170 should be a competitive 1st innings total on this ground.
Though teams bowling first have won more games here, we reckon batting first should be the choice for the visitors as that would allow them time to find their rhythm and get back to form. The hosts will also continue batting first after having won the opening game defending a total.
Netherlands Women are the superior team in this contest. Hong Kong Women showed no promise and their only hope will be that their bowlers deliver a miracle and restrict the hosts to a low score. The Netherlands will start as clear favorites in our match prediction.
