Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
Barry McCarthy has been called up to the 15-man squad as a replacement for David Delany who has made himself unavailable for this tour due to personal reasons. Jacob Mulder has been ruled out of the entire series with an injury and he has been replaced in the squad with off-spinner Simi Singh.
IRE Key Players
Gary Wilson: The skipper is a key man in this Irish batting unit and he will be expected to score the big runs in this match. Wilson is the team's second-highest run-getter in the T20 format with 1194 runs in 66 matches.
Kevin O'Brien: The all-rounder can be very destructive on his day with the bat and is also a handy wicket-taking option. O'Brien is one of the team's leading run-scorers as well as the second-best bowler in this format.
George Dockrell: The left-arm spinner is a major threat in Ireland's bowling attack. He has taken the most wickets for the team in T20Is and finished as their best bowler in last month's tri-series at home.

Tobias Visee and Max O’Dowd are likely to open the batting for the Dutch in this match.

🏆 Ireland vs Netherlands Prediction
Netherlands have the upper hand when it comes to head-to-head record with six wins from nine completed meetings in T20Is. They have beaten Ireland thrice in their previous four attempts. Ireland, however, have been performing better in this format and they will be heading into this match having won three of their last five matches. They look relatively stronger on paper and have more firepower in the bowling department. Although the Dutch may have a strong record against the Irish, we feel the latter are better placed to emerge victorious this time around.
Final Verdict: Back Ireland to beat Netherlands.
