The second ODI between the Netherlands and Ireland is set to take place at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht on Friday.
Ireland, who started the series as favorites, were handed a shock when the Netherlands beat them by a whisker in the first game. The likes of Logan van Beek and Timm van der Gugten were on song with the ball as the Dutch got past a wobbly batting performance. Although they will be eyeing another win at the expense of Ireland, the Netherlands will need their batsmen to step up in the second ODI. All eyes will be on Stephan Myburgh, who is on the comeback trail after a couple of years of inactivity on the international circuit.
Myburgh and the rest of the Dutch batsmen will need to be wary of a wounded Ireland side who will be looking to level the series. Apart from Paul Stirling, none of the Irish batsmen were able to get going in the first game, something they will look to address in the second ODI. Despite their poor performance in the series opener, Ireland will start the upcoming match as favorites.

Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is slightly on the slower side, with ample help on offer for the bowlers. While the pacers should get the ball to swing in the early stages, the batsmen should also be able to play their shots. Wickets in hand will be crucial, with spinners set to play a big role in the middle overs. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 220 being par at the venue.
