IRE vs NED Dream11 Team - T20 World Cup 2021 | 18 Oct

The 2021 ICC T20 World Cup has begun and before the main draw begins, we have the Qualifiers taking place in Oman. Two games a day is what we have and four teams will go through from the two groups in the 2021 T20 World Cup Qualifiers. In the first game today, we have Ireland in action and this team is surely a favourite to move forward, having played in World Cups before and made a few upsets as well.

They’re up against Netherlands who have also created a few upsets in past editions of ICC events but this is their 4th T20 World Cup while it’s Ireland’s 6th. Earlier in this year, Ireland played a few games in UAE against Afghanistan, so they may be more accustomed to conditions here too. Netherlands won one of their warmups while Ireland won both.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, these teams are tied 2-2.
Last 5 T20Is at this ground – all won batting first.
Netherlands – won 3 of their 4 T20 internationals here.

Ireland

Opening for this team will be Kevin O’Brien and Paul Stirling. The former hasn’t had much of game time since he only plays this format of the game now, while Stirling is their most experienced and travelled player. Earlier this year, he scored consecutive ODI centuries here and should make your IRE vs NED fantasy team. There were questions about whether Gareth Delany would make the playing eleven but his 88* against Bangladesh would’ve answered them.

South African born Curtis Campher usually hasn’t been preferred for the shortest format but in the recent UAE Summer T20 Bash, he picked a 3-fer against UAE and scored 42* against PNG which means he’s boosted his chances and if playing, we’re adding him to our IRE vs NED Dream11 team. Another all-round star you can’t leave out is Simi Singh who shone against South Africa while Josh Little will lead the bowling attack, getting 2/22 against Bangladesh.

Netherlands

This team has a number of very experienced players but we have a good pick in Colin Ackermann who has played a lot of cricket in England and even played The Hundred 2021. He bats and bowls and got 37(21)* in the middle order in the second warmup game, so is a good captain option for your fantasy side today. Another very experienced bowling all-rounder who can’t be left out is former South African international, Roelof van der Merwe.

With the bat, you may want to consider Ben Cooper who has again been around since ages and has played cricket in various conditions. With scores of 19 and 40 in the warmups, he’s surely making our PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) IRE vs NED fantasy team today. Among the pacers, Paul van Meekeren was their best in the 2019 Qualifiers in Dubai and we’d even recommend opening bowler Fred Klaassen.
