Netherlands vs Scotland 5th T20 Prediction

­NED vs SCO Head to Head

Netherlands and Scotland have played seven T20 internationals against each other in the past with the former leading the scoreline 4-3.

Both countries have won twice each in the last four completed head-to-head encounters in the shortest format of the game.

Their last T20I face-off came last year in January at the Desert T20 Challenge in the UAE. That game was played at Abu Dhabi where Scotland registered a seven-run victory.

­Netherlands vs Scotland 5thT20 Betting Odds

Netherlands, after winning their first two games of the series against Ireland, are going into this match as the bookmakers' favorites to win at odds of 1.71 on Betfair and 1.72 each on Betway and Bet365. Scotland are still winless after having played their first two games and are the underdogs amongst the bookmakers at a higher price of 2 on Betway, 2.10 on Bet365 and 2.08 on Betfair.

­Netherlands vs Scotland 5th T20 Prediction

Netherlands will be the more confident side ahead of this game. They won both their fixtures against Ireland and will now be taking on Scotland who are under a lot of pressure after failing to win their first two matches against Ireland. Now, they will need to win both their remaining ties against Netherlands to finish atop the points table with five points. Scotland will feel more optimistic in the fact that they have beaten the hosts in their previous two T20I meetings. However, the latter have been performing better in recent times and considering the current form of both the teams, we feel that the scales are tipped slightly in favor of Netherlands.

Final Verdict: Back Netherlands to beat Scotland at 1.72 each with Betway and Bet365 and 1.71 with Betfair.
