TOSS - Netherlands have won the toss and will BOWL.

Hello and welcome to the sixth and final match in the triangular series where Netherlands will take on Ireland. Interestingly, the home team won the opening match but since then have lost two matches are now third on the table. Their batting looked vulnerable as they lost both matches while chasing. The Dutch bowlers have done a good job so far but will hope they do well with the bat and end the series on a high. Ireland on the other hand are sitting on top with five points and have been the most dominating in all three departments. Let's hope we get an even contest. Stay tuned for toss and other updates.

...MATCH DAY...

The Netherlands T20I Tri-Series, 2024 is in full swing and we are awaiting Match number 6 where the Netherlands will face Ireland. The hosts find themselves at the bottom of the three teams and will be eyeing to rise up the ranks. They started off well with a win but then faced 2 consecutive losses which put them dead last on the table. In their last game against the Scotland. Apart from Logan van Beek, the others couldn't find much success in the bowling innings. Aryan Dutt had to settle without any wickets while the others got one each. Their batting department also couldn't make a mark. They lost wickets early and only three of their batters could reach the double-digit score. Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards, and Logan van Beek were the high scorers for them. The others crumpled under pressure and they ended up losing that game. Ireland, on the other hand, is on the back of a recent win. They put up a brilliant bowling display where Mark Adair and Craig Young got three wickets each. They maintained the pressure well on the opposition and didn't allow them to reach a competitive score. Their batting unit also complimented the team well. Their openers put up a great partnership and the others too didn't let the opposition bowlers find the proper rhythm. Andy Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker were the two batters to score half-centuries and their batting prowess helped them seal the game comfortably. This is also going to be an exciting encounter and an important one for the Netherlands. Which team are you supporting?
