Netherlands v Ireland 2nd ODI – Team News

• Stephan Myburgh and Max O’Dowd – Both Netherlands openers got good starts in the first match, but failed to convert beyond the 20s.
• Timm van der Gugten – The burgeoning Dutch all-rounder was the player of the match earlier this week, after putting in 49 down the order and taking the key wicket of Paul Stirling.
• George Dockrell – The Irish star has transformed himself from a specialist spinner to genuine all-rounder. He will likely bat in the middle-order again.
• Andy Balbirnie – The captain will demand more of himself with the bat and tactics-wise, to improve on Ireland Cricket’s performance this time.
• Barry McCarthy – The Irish fast bowler failed to make a positive impact with the new ball. If retained, he needs a stronger performance.

Netherlands v Ireland 2nd ODI – Betting Tips and Predictions

Our team of cricket and betting analysts have more trustworthy betting tips for your consideration. Take a look at the competitive odds included.

Select Stirling as Ireland’s Top Batsman

Paul Stirling hit a half-century in the series opener, but couldn’t convert to three figures. He has 12 ODI centuries and will be eager to get a 13th here.

Stirling has played domestic T20 cricket around the world, which not many associate cricketers have done. He has plenty of experience to spearhead Ireland’s attempt to bounce back from defeat.

1xBet have more than 100 markets and events to bet on for this match. One of their best is Stirling to be the top Ireland batsman at 3.0.

Pick de Leede to Be Netherlands’ Top Batsman

Bas de Leede was one of a few Netherlands batsman who started well, only to get out when it counted most, in the first match.

He put in a gritty 21 and spent almost an hour and a half at the crease. It’s this experience of conditions that should serve him well in the second ODI.

De Leede is a really good price at 9.0 with bet365 to be the top Netherlands batsman. This might seem a bit long, but it’s worth it and could bring great value.

Bet on Young as Player of the Match

Craig Young took the early and key wicket of Stephan Myburgh and then returned to the attack to take a couple more earlier this week.

He essentially ensured Ireland didn’t have to chase a target of more than 200, even if they didn’t reach the required 196 in the end.

A bowler will probably win the player of the match award here. Young is a good pick for this at 15.0 with 22Bet. He’ll probably need a minimum of three wickets again.
