After a comprehensive loss to Ireland in the T20I Tri-series in Netherlands, Scotland will look to overcome their shortcomings in the batting and bowling performance and come back strongly against the same opponents in the 4th game of the tournament.
The second match between Ireland and Scotland will be live streamed by Netherlands Cricket Board (KNCB) at the following link.
Ireland has shown good resolve in their batting department in the tournament so far and would like to finish on a high before heading back home two crucial T20I’s against the visiting Indian team in June 2018. An Ireland XI will also play a T20 game against Sussex County Club before that at Arundale Castle in West Sussex on the occasion of their recently retired International, Ed Joyce, for the recognition of his contribution towards Sussex cricket in the English County Championships, as part of his Testimonial year.
Scotland however, do not have any International matches scheduled for the rest of 208 after the second match against Ireland and remaining two T20I’s against host’s Netherlands in the T20I Tri-series.
