Pre-Match Analysis:
Ireland overcome a late assault from Tim Pringle to seal the 2nd match of the series by a mere one run against Netherlands on Sunday. Mark Adair’s exceptional game presence on the final ball of the match did the trick and he even made the difference with the bat, smashing 49 runs at a strike rate of 204.16 that won him the Player of the Match. Man in form, Lorcan Tucker was the other one who batted well for his 40 that took them to a competitive score of 150. Fionn Hand who is in the place of Graham Hume bagged the opportunity with both hands, picking up 3 wickets at an economy of 4.5 while all-rounders Curtis Campher and Mark Adair claimed 2 wickets each. They got the start they wanted and need to carry the momentum going forward in the series.
Scotland wasn’t able to crack the Dutch challenge in the 1st match and went down by 41 runs following their ordinary effort with the bat. Chasing a gettable 167 they crumbled for just 126. Skipper Richie Berrington (39) and wicketkeeper batter Matthew Cross (49) fought hard however lack of contributions from the others resulted in them losing the game easily. By looking at the positives, they have come out well as a bowling troop with Bradley Currie, Gavin Main, Chris Sole, Mark Watt, and Michael Leask sharing the wickets. It’s a wake-up call for them and need to come out well in the remaining matches of the series with the T20 World Cup just around the corner.
