IRE vs NED 3rd T20I ICC T20 World Cup Match Preview:
The 3rd match, First Round Group A of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, 2021, will be played between Ireland and Netherlands at the venue of Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Monday.
The Irish team has gone from strength to strength in the last few years and has really evolved as a T20 team. They have some experienced players such as Paul Stirling, George Dockrell, Andrew Balbirnie, and Kevin O’Brien. Apart from them, there are a few young guns who have a brilliant understanding as far as the shortest format is concerned.
The Dutch team has a unique ability to catch teams off-guard, especially in the T20 format. In the 2014 edition, they shocked Ireland and entered the main round, where they defeated England. They can fall apart on a bad day, but also have the ability to knock their oppositions on their day. The only problem for them as a unit is the fact that they haven’t played a lot of cricket in recent times.
