Ireland will face Scotland in the 5th T20I of the tri-series between Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland on Thursday (May 23). The match will be played at Sportpark Westvliet in The Hague. Both Scotland and Ireland have three points but Scotland lead the points table as their NRR is better than that of Ireland.
Scotland come into this match with a comprehensive victory over Netherlands on Wednesday. David Munsey’s 72 runs off 44 balls helped Scotland post a total of 158 runs. Mark Watt was the pick of the bowlers for Scotland. The left-arm spinner retuned with figures of 4 for 12. Bradley Currie and Chris Greaves also took two wickets each. The brilliant efforts of Scottish bowlers helped pack the Dutch side for just 87 runs.
Ireland won their first match of the series against the Netherlands, where Lorcan Tucker and Mark Adair scored 40 and 49 runs each. Fionn Hand bowled a handy spell of 3 for 18 to see the Irish over the line.
These two teams were supposed to play each other on 20th May but the match was abandoned due to rain.
