It’s the 2021 Ireland tour of Netherlands and it was a fantastic start to the 3-match ODI series for the home team. After first having played this opponent way back in 2007, it was only a couple of days ago that Netherlands registered their first ODI victory against them. Maybe Ireland found the conditions a bit foreign but we know for sure that the visitors will hit back hard, having much more experience than the Dutch.
We saw the Dutch captain picking 3 wickets in the 1st ODI which means you might want to pick more slower bowlers and spinning options. With the bat, we’d like to pick the more experienced players, who can adapt and score on such sticky and slower wickets. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the NED vs IRE 2nd ODI…

Stats that matter

- Bas de Leede scores before this series – 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0.
Netherlands
With the bat, skip Bas de Leede who scored 21 in the 1st ODI but has been in a poor run of form in the weeks before this series began. Similarly, with only 35 runs in hi last 6 matches, Ben Cooper has been poor so we’re leaving him out of our NED vs IRE fantasy team as well. At the top of the order, Max ODowd scored a quickfire 23 and he’s one who has been more consistent, so is worth picking with the bat today.
Captain Pieter Seelaar bagged a duck in the middle order but he usually is very useful with the bat while bowling is his stronger suit, picking 3 wickets in the 1st ODI, so he’s even worth picking as your fantasy captain or vice-captain today. We expect Saqib Zulfiqar to bowl more than the 2 overs he got in in the last game and is worth having in your NED vs IRE Dream11 team as well.
Ireland
The most experienced player with experience across the world is Paul Stirling who was their top scorer in the last game and a couple of months ago, got a couple of centuries in UAE as well, so he’s a definite pick in our BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) NED vs IRE fantasy team. Like him, Andrew Balbirnie is no stranger to big scores and in his last 5 matches itself, he has an unbeaten fifty and a top score of 126 as well.

When he first popped on to the scene, George Dockrell was a handy spinner who was tough to face but he barely gets any wickets any more. Having said that, he now bats in the middle order may do better with the ball on this slower pitch as well. Among the pacers, Craig Young has been most consistently among the wickers and his 3-fer in the last game just added to his tally, so he makes our team as well today.
