Netherlands Women vs Ireland Women, Match 2: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

The second T20I match of the three-match T20I series between the Netherlands Women and Ireland Women will be played on August 16 at VRA Ground in Armstelveen. The visitors have their nose ahead, leading the series by 1-0 and now have one eye on clinching the series.

The Netherlands Women put up a very lackluster performance in the first T20I match and were blown away by a whopping 10 wickets. They started off poorly with the bat and lost their top 3 inside the first five overs. Robine Rijke (38 off 35) and Phebe Molkenboer (23 off 34) were the only Dutch batters who managed to post decent scores.

Their poor show even continued with the ball as nearly seven bowlers were used to dismantle the Irish batting lineup. None of the Dutch bowlers returned with any wickets as Ireland Women sailed past their target with 41 balls to spare.

Ireland Women, on the other hand, completed a crushing victory against the hosts. They never allowed the Netherlands Women to get off the hook and maintained a significant amount of pressure both with the bat and with the ball.

Arlene Kelly and Georgina Dempsey broke the back of the Dutch batting lineup, picking up seven wickets between them while going at just around 4.5 RPO. In reply, Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis made a mockery of the chase, scoring 49* and 43*, respectively. Considering their impressive form,

Ireland Women will be seen as clear favorites ahead of the second T20I match.
