Pre-Match Analysis:
Netherlands has secured direct qualification for the forthcoming T20 World Cup to be held in the USA and West Indies as they finished 8th in the last edition of the T20 World Cup in Australia.
They have already named the squad for the showpiece event and the same will feature in the Tri-Nation Series led by experienced wicketkeeper batter Scott Edwards. However, Two of their match-winners Colin Ackermann and Roelof van der Merwe have prioritised County Cricket over the National team hence not picked up in the squad. Daniel Dorum who plays for West Indies domestic team Leeward Islands has been included as he holds the Dutch passport.
Men in Orange last featured in a T20I game a couple of months back in a tri-series that involved Namibia and hosts Nepal where they emerged champions beating Nepal in the finals by 3 wickets.
Scotland are a well-balanced unit that will be captained by Richie Berrington. They have got exciting talent in their ranks including the likes of Matthew Cross, George Munsey, Chris Sole, Michael Leask, and Chris Greaves. Their previous T20I assignment was against UAE where they won the 3-matches series 2-1 after going down in the first game. They will face the Netherlands for the first time since October 2019 which poses a huge challenge.
