Dutch, Scottish, and Irish teams will face each other for a tri-series which will commence on 18th May. Ahead of the World Cup, this will be the practice matches for them to test their sides on which player is in form, and which department needs to work. All these 3 teams are capable of winning the trophy as we can expect a thriller of T20I Tri Series.
All three teams will try to make some strategies because they will face heavy teams like Australia, New Zealand, and England so they should be aware of how they need to be prepared. Ireland recently defeated Pakistan in the 1st T20I match and gave a tough crack to the Men in Green as the Irish would be high on confidence.
Commencement of the Tri-Series
Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands will face each other in a tri-series which will be held in the Netherlands. Ireland a couple of days ago lost the T20I series in their home ground by 2-1 so Ireland is still prepared but needs to give their best so that no flaws are seen in the t20 World Cup. Scotland needs to prepare itself thoroughly and needs to see whether each department is playing properly or not.
The Netherlands who played World Cup 2023 looked in good form as they defeated South Africa and Bangladesh so they have some experience in beating big teams time passed and many things have changed so it’s a fresh start so they will also try to bounce back to face many new teams like USA and Canada, Uganda which will be playing for the first time in the World Cup.
Pitch Report
VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen has a benefit for fast bowlers and has become a hot spot for them, still, the average score stands up to 137 and maybe it can increase or it may decrease too. Scores have been made like 208 but batmen-friendly pitches can’t predict in every match.
Exciting Contest on Cards
Netherlands can’t afford to take Scotland lightly as they have got a lot of match winners in the side. We should not forget that how Scotland kicked out West Indies in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 qualifier and ever since that they have been an unstoppable force in the World Cricket
Netherlands can be considered the red hot favorites for this clash as they know how to win key moments and they would be well equipped to their home conditions. In the closing stage of the coveted IPL 2024, it will be quite fascinating to see whether the fans watch this Tri Series as the concept of Tri Series can reignite the game again.
