Cricket Ireland (CI) will be hosting the Women’s squad from Netherlands in a 4-match T20I series in July 2021, ahead of the all-important ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifiers in Spain in August 2021. All the matches will be played at Malahide and will be livestreamed and livescored via the Cricket Ireland Match Centre.
The matches will take place on 26th, 27th, 29th and 30th of July 2021, as Netherlands Women’s squad get back to International Cricket for the first time since 2019. Ireland Women hosted Scotland Women in the recently concluded series in May 2021 and also played a one-off T20 game with Lancashire Women at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
The series will mark the first International assignment for Head Coach of Netherlands Women, Shane Deitz, who took over the position in December 2020. The matches will be livestreamed via Cricket Ireland Live on Youtube and livescored via the Cricket Ireland match centre.
Frederique Overdijk of HV&CV Quick club (142 runs/6 wickets in 7 games), Annemijn Thomson of HV&CV Quick club (147 runs/9 wickets in 6 games) and Miranda Veringmeier of VRA club (361 runs/6 wickets in 6 games) will be key all-round options for Netherlands, as both players have performed well in the 2021 Hoofdklasse Women competition. The likes of Babette de Leede (347 runs in 7 games), Robin Rijke (381 runs in 6 games), Silver Siegers (8 wickets in 4 games) and Iris Zwiling (10 wickets in 4 games) will be crucial for Netherlands chances of registering wins in the series.
