MATCH PREVIEW

Ireland

  • Barry McCarthy has been called up to the 15-man squad as a replacement for David Delany who has made himself unavailable for this tour due to personal reasons.
  • Jacob Mulder has been ruled out of the entire series with an injury and he has been replaced in the squad with off-spinner Simi Singh.

Netherlands

  • Netherlands have named a 15-man squad for this multi-nation T20I series.
  • All-rounder Pieter Seelaar will be leading the team that also has the likes of Ryan ten Doeschate, Roelof van der Merwe and Colin Ackermann.
  • Tobias Visee and Max O’Dowd are likely to open the batting for the Dutch in this match.

PROBABLE WINNING TEAM:

The Netherlands has the upper hand when it comes to head-to-head record with six wins from nine completed meetings in T20Is. Although the Dutch may have a strong record against the Irish, we feel the latter are better placed to emerge victorious this time around.
