Read on for team previews, betting odds, betting tips and match prediction for Netherlands vs Ireland 2nd match....
Netherlands will bank on Wesley Barresi, Ben Cooper and Scott Edwards to score the big runs against Ireland. Barresi is the team's highest run-getter in T20 internationals and the onus will be on him to take the team off to a good start. There will also be high expectations from Cooper and Edwards and the hosts will want at least one of them to bat through the innings. Skipper Pieter Seelaar is the key man for the Netherlands when it comes to bowling. The left-arm spinner has been amongst the wickets in this format and he could give the Irish batsmen a hard time here. Ireland will also look to be watchful against Roelof van der Merwe who has taken 29 wickets in 23 T20 internationals.

Paul Stirling, William Porterfield, Kevin O'Brien and Gary Wilson form the core of the team's batting. Porterfield and Stirling are amongst the top run-scorers for Ireland in the game's shortest format and they will be crucial at the top of the order. Wilson and O'Brien who has the ability to clear the fence with ease will be the team's biggest hopes in the middle order. Barry McCarthy and Boyd Rankin will lead Ireland's pace attack and they will be backed by their team to pick up the early wickets. The spin department will depend heavily on George Dockrell who has taken over 50 T20I wickets in his career.

Netherlands defied the odds and registered a thrilling four-run win in the opening encounter. But despite that win, bookmakers are not showing enough faith in them and have them as outsiders for this second match of the T20 international tri-series. While Betway is offering a 2.25 price on the hosts, Bet365 and Betfair have them up at 2.37 and 2.36 respectively. Ireland will be a little disappointed after not being able to get over the line last time but they will look to rectify their mistakes and come better prepared on Wednesday. They are still favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this game at odds of 1.59 on Betfair and 1.57 each on Betway and Bet365.
Netherlands will gain confidence from the fact that they are ranked higher than Ireland in the ICC T20I rankings. They also have the home advantage in their favour and know the conditions better. However, the hosts are a bowling-heavy side and lack firepower in their batting while Ireland strike good balance between bat and ball. The latter may not have been in the best of forms lately but they definitely have a superior line-up as compared to Netherlands who we feel are likely to go down in this encounter.
Final Verdict: Back Ireland to beat Netherlands in the second match at 1.57 each with Betway and Bet365 and 1.59 with Betfair.
