Preview:
Ireland Women will host Netherlands Women in the 4-match T20I series, which is starting from 26th July. Ireland Women recently hosted Scotland Women in a T20I series and secured a 3-1 victory convincingly. Gaby Lewis had an excellent series with the bat and ended up as the leading run-getter. With winning form under their belt, Ireland Women are likely favorites for this series.
Meanwhile, Netherlands Women haven’t played an international game since September 2019. They will be exciting to play an international match after a long gap, but it isn’t going to be easy for them, since Ireland Women are a very strong side. Heather Siegers will captain the side in this series whereas Babette de Leede will be her deputy.
