Netherlands vs Ireland 3rd ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Netherlands host Ireland on Monday in the third and final ODI at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweed, Utrecht. Ireland squared the series at 1-1 after a comprehensive 8 wicket win with 42 balls to spare on Friday, setting up this winner takes all clash. The second ODI was the first ODI since January 2019 where neither team hit a six. Read on as we preview this final ODI in the series. The game will get underway at 10:30 local time on June 7.
Ahead of the series, Netherlands would have taken 1-1 with one to play but will need to turn one of their four scores of 20+ from Friday’s game into a more substantial innings. Runs on the board will mean that more risks need to be taken from the tight bowling of Frederick Klaassen and Pieter Seelaar which will give Netherlands a real chance.
Ireland were in no rush to win the game on Friday and took no risks to win the match. They hit only 15 boundaries (all fours) from 43 overs. They have a lot more to give and have Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie, Josh Little and Craig Young all playing outstanding cricket.

NED vs IRE Toss Prediction
Netherlands have won the toss and chose to bat first in both ODIs. We expect whichever captain to choose to bat first should they win the toss.
Pitch Report
The lack of sixes and low batting strike-rates were more a result of Ireland’s impressive bowling and risk free batting. A score of 200+ is certainly possible from either team with the bat.
Weather Report
High of 22 with partial cloud around throughout the day in Utrecht on Monday.

Netherlands Team News & Playing 11
NED Team News
The home side were unchanged from their win on Wednesday in Friday’s second ODI. Although a couple of players have not contributed much at all with the bat in the series so far, we expect them to stick with the same XI in this crucial final ODI.
NED Key Players
- Max O’Dowd - a 36 on Friday to follow up his 23 on Wednesday, O’Dowd knows that a lot rests on his shoulders at the top of the order and a big score is required.
- Frederick Klaassen - produced 2 maiden overs and went for only 15 runs from 8 overs on Friday. If he can add a wicket or 3 to his figures then he will put Netherlands in the driving seat.
- Timm van der Gugten - Netherlands’ top scorer with the bat on Wednesday, van der Gugten was very economical with the ball on Friday. He bowled 2 more maidens to add to the 3 from the first ODI.
NED Team Form
Netherlands come into this game with two wins and two defeats from their four ODIs in 2021. However, they have batted first in all four games and are yet to post a score above 200.
Netherlands Predicted Playing 11
Max O’Dowd, Stephan Myburgh, Ben Cooper, Bas de Leede, Pieter Seelaar (c) , Scott Edwards (wk), Frederick Klaassen, Brandon Glover, Saqib Zulfiqar, Logan van Beek, Timm van der Gutgen
Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
After cruising to victory on Friday we don’t foresee any changes for Andy Balbirnie’s side in this game. William Porterfield has only produced 5 runs in the series so far and, after only just being recalled to the side, will be keen to show his worth.
IRE Key Players
- Paul Stirling - the Irish opener deals only in big scores and averages 97.57 from his last 8 ODI innings. Incredibly, he has posted a lower score in each of his last three innings but still made a half-century on Friday.
- Andy Balbirnie - the skipper produced a patient, almost Test-like, batting innings to take his team to victory. He showed excellent game awareness and ensured his team got the vital win.
- Josh Little - the pacey left-armer has combined figures of 7-71 across the series so far. He came very close to taking a hat-trick in Friday’s game and caused problems for the Netherlands batsmen throughout.
IRE Team Form
Friday’s comprehensive win was well needed for Ireland who had lost their previous 4 games in this format. They now have a team win to complement the impressive individual performances.
Ireland Predicted Playing 11
Paul Stirling, William Porterfield, Andy Balbirnie (c) , Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Simi Singh, George Dockrell, Craig Young, Andy McBrine, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy
