With Monday's 3rd Match of the tournament abandoned due to the weather, Scotland got their first point of the competition and the table is still very congested. That might not be the case after this game though as a win for the hosts will see them go back to the top of the table and will leave Scotland two points adrift of the top two.
These sides have been well matched over recent head to heads and both have developed well over recent seasons in this format and ODIs. But it is the Netherlands who have progressed the most and will come into this match on home turn on Tuesday and fancying their chances of recording another victory over Scotland.

Although they will come into this game fancying their chances of recording another win over Scotland in this Tri-Nation Series, the Netherlands were beaten in their last match in a closely fought contest against Ireland.
Logan van Beek was their only bowler to go wicketless in Match 2 and overall it was an impressive display from Tim Pringle (3/32), Daniel Doram (2/27) and Paul van Meekeren (2/27).
With the bat, the Netherlands do have an experienced and powerful top six and they will be looking to take the attack to Scotland's bowlers from the first ball of this clash.

For cricket watchers who only really follow the likes of Scotland at major tournaments, there will be some unfamiliar names in the line-up for this game particularly at the top of the order. The likes of Richie Berrington and Matthew Cross are well known but Ollie Hairs and Michael Jones still have work to do to establish themselves as top opening batters in this format.
With the ball, we expect to see Gavin Main take a leading role for Scotland in this game alongside the ever-willing left-arm spinner Mark Watt who will mix it up between some flighted big turning deliveries and firing in some darts at the batter's toes, if required.

This could be another game which falls victim to the weather as there is a high chance of rain from the mid-afternoon onwards in The Hague. Humidity will be high throughout the match.
As we have seen throughout the Tri-Nation Series, there is plenty of assistance for the quick bowlers and not a great deal of turn for the spinners. We expect a par first innings total to be no higher than 160-165.
Although there could be a little more life in the pitch in the first innings due to the rain on Monday, we expect that both skippers will want to bat first ahead of this game.
Both sides have been beaten already in this tournament although it is the Netherlands who beat Scotland when they met on Saturday. We are expecting a close fixture on Tuesday, which could be affected by the weather, but no matter how many overs per side the game is, we predict a victory for the Netherlands.
We are backing the Netherlands to win!
