Preview:
Netherlands will be hosting Scotland in a 2-match ODI series, starting from the 19th of May. Both teams haven’t played ODI matches in recent times. Some of the Netherlands players have played unofficial One-day matches against Ireland last week, which must have helped them to prepare for this series.
Scotland played their last ODI way back in 2019 December against the UAE, where they lost the match by 7 wickets. All the responsibilities are on the shoulders of Kyle Coetzer for this series. Scotland will be really excited to play an ODI match after a long time and they would want to make it count.

NED vs SCO Risky Captaincy Choices:

Paul van Meekeren is a little inexperienced for this format and has played only 5 matches and grabbed 4 wickets. You can avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
