irew vs nlw Match Prediction & Analysis

Ireland won the T20I series by 2-0 margin after winning the third match comfortably with more than 8 overs remaining. Ireland have been dominating the T20I games in their last two series and will look to end the series with yet another win and keep their winning streak intact.  Netherlands will be dejected with yet another loss and will be eager to get their first win against a full member nation in their 20th attempt. They need to come up with all-round performances with bat and ball to win against a quality Irish side in this contest.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Ireland Women Preview

Ireland made short work of the 110-run target with opener Gaby Lewis (52* runs) leading the chase from the front. Rebecca Stokell (17 runs) and Laura Delany (15 runs) played a little cameos at top. They did not struggle despite a couple of middle order batters being dismissed for a duck.

Ireland bowlers applied similar performance to the first match as they strangled Netherland to 51/4 in 12 overs. And eventually finished the innings at 109/5 in 20 overs. Orla Pendergast picked up 2 wickets while Laura Maritz, Sophie McMahon, and Richardson picked up a wicket each in the match.

Top players to bet on:

Gaby Lewis – Lewis scored 52 runs off 29 balls with 11 boundaries and never gave any opening to the opposition as she stayed unbeaten in the chase.   We expect her to continue her superb form in this match too.

Orla Prendergast: Pendergast has bowling figures of 1/5 & 2/14 in the two matches so far. She has given runs at less than 3 RPO despite bowling majority of overs in powerplay. She can be a handy player with the bat too.

Ireland Women Predicted Playing XI:

Rebecca Stokell, Gaby Lewis, Laura Delany (c), Shauna Kavanagh (wk), Orla Prendergast, Lara Maritz, Leah Paul, Celeste Raack, Ava Canning, Sophie MacMahon, Eimear Richardson

Ireland Women Actual Playing XI:

Eimear Richardson, Leah Paul, Gaby Lewis, Rachel Delaney, Sophie MacMahon, Rebecca Stokell, Laura Delany, Georgina Dempsey, Celeste Raack, Shauna Kavanagh, Mary Waldron

Netherlands Women Preview

Netherlands top order struggled for momentum and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Miranda Veringmeier (60 runs) and Juliet Post (20 runs) lead their comeback with 58-run partnership to take them to 109/5 in 20 overs. Their batting needs a lot of work to be done.

Netherlands bowlers never really looked to be in control as Ireland chased the target in just 11.3 overs. Silver Sigers took 2 wickets while Freddie Overdijk chipped in with a wicket. All the remaining bowlers went for over 10 RPO and did not take any wickets too.

Top players to bet on:

Miranda Veringmeier – Miranda top scored for the team with 33 & 60 in the two matches so far. She scored almost 60% of team`s runs in the last game and she lacks support from the other players.   

Freddie Overdijk – Overdijk had bowling figures of 2/24 & 1/12 in two matches at an economy rate of 6 RPO. Her batting is a big worry as she has scored just 19 runs facing 40 balls across 2 matches in the opening slot.

Netherlands Women Predicted Playing XI:

Heather Siegers (c), Babette de Leede (wk), Annemijn van Beuge, Eva Lynch, Frederique Overdijk, Iris Zwilling, Isabel van der Woning, Juliet Post, Miranda Veringmeier, Robine Rijke, Silver Siegers.

Netherlands Women Actual Playing XI:

Robine Rijke, Eva Lynch, Silver Siegers, Annemijn Thomson, Heather Siegers, Juliet Post, Hannah Landheer, Babette De Leede, Iris Zwilling, Miranda Veringmeier, Frederique Overdijk

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Dublin will have cloudy and overcast conditions with 70-80% chances of rain as per weather forecasters. But, we expect rain to make a short appearance (reduce overs maybe) in this match.

Venue Details

Malahide pitch was good to bat on in the last game in the second innings especially. Bowlers used the slowness on the track to trouble the batters fluency. We expect the average scores around 150-160 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option as you would aware of the target in hand. Batting first on a slow track will pressurize the batters to get that 10-15 runs. We expect both captains to bowl first if they win the toss.
