#3 Frederique Overdijk

Frederique Overdijk opens the batting for the Netherlands in T20I cricket. Overdijk struggled in the first game with the bat, but was impressive with the ball. The medium pacer picked up two wickets, giving away 24 runs in her four overs.

Opening the batting, the right-handed batter struggled for timing, as she could only score 19 runs off 38 balls. The 21-year-old felt the pressure and departed in the 10th over. She will be eager to turn the tables and contribute to the team’s cause in the second T20I.

#2 Lara Maritz

Lara Maritz debuted for Ireland at the age of 16. The right-arm medium fast bowler has been a part of the national side since her debut. Maritz was impressive in the first game of the series for the Irish team. She picked up three wickets in three overs and broke the back of the Dutch batting line-up.

All three of Maritz’s wickets were bowled and she is certainly a player to watch out for in the series. Maritz has picked up 11 wickets in 20 T20Is so far and her experience will be crucial for the Irish team.
