NL vs IRE Team Previews
Netherlands
Netherlands currently occupy 15th position in the International Cricket Council's rankings for men's T20I teams. They are four positions lower than Ireland. The Dutch will go into this match against the Irish on the back of a tough challenge against Scotland earlier in the tournament.
Michael Levitt is well worth keeping an eye on with the bat. He is new to international cricket - and has already hit a T20I century. Levitt is a powerful hitter and should be full of confidence ahead of this match and Netherlands' T20 World Cup campaign next month.
Paul van Meekeren has been playing international cricket for a decade and brings plenty of experience to the team's bowling attack. The veteran seamer played for the Dubai Capitals in the International League T20 earlier this year. That exposure would have been good for his growth on the global stage.
Netherlands Playing 11
Max O'Dowd, Michael Levitt, Scott Edwards, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle, Paul Van Meekeren, Daniel Doram, Vivian Kingma.
Ireland
Ireland put in a reasonable showing against Pakistan in T20I cricket recently. They won the first match before losing the next two. There is momentum to build on. Ireland can once again show that they are not necessarily minnows at the T20 World Cup. First, though, they will need to impress against Netherlands.
Harry Tector should be key for Ireland with the bat. He was consistent against Pakistan, putting in scores of 26, 32 and 30 not out. He will want to start converting promising starts - and soon - and this match and tri-series is an opportune time to start doing just that.
Mark Adair is an important asset in Ireland's attack. He has a lot of experience as well and can take confidence from his three-wicket haul against Pakistan in the series decider recently. Barry McCarthy is another seamer the Irish can lean on against Netherlands.
Ireland Playing 11
Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Fionn Hand, Ben White.
NL vs IRE Toss Prediction
Sportpark Westvliet in the Hague will be the venue for this match. It hosted the first fixture of the tri-series, too, when Scotland won the toss and opted to field first.
It is likely the team to win the toss this time will elect to bowl first as well. Teams prefer to chase - not set - targets in this format.

Pitch and Conditions
This ground last hosted T20I cricket in 2022, when Netherlands and New Zealand posted first-innings totals of 147 and 148.
A first-innings score of 150-plus can be considered competitive here. Both teams might play two specialist slow bowlers.
Rain is forecast in the Hague on matchday. Chasing an adjusted total could suit the team batting second.
NL vs IRE Betting Tips
Netherlands have homeground advantage and a spirited squad, but Ireland have a lot more experience and depth - and recently beat Pakistan in at least one T20I. The Irish should be the Dutch in this tri-series encounter.
Bet on 1.66 favourites Ireland to beat 2.20 underdogs Netherlands in this fixture.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Bet on the home side to win the toss. There is a 50 percent chance of this happening. If Netherlands win the toss, they will probably choose to field first.
Adair has taken more than 100 wickets in T20I cricket. Three of those came against a dominant Pakistan batting order in his last appearance. Adair is in fine form.
Look forward to another solid performance from Tector, who was in decent form against Pakistan. Tector will be eager to impress ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Van Meekeren has been playing international cricket for 10 years. He knows how to bowl well in difficult conditions. Anticipate a big showing from the Netherlands seamer.
Levitt will likely open the batting and have plenty of opportunity to score quickly and freely when there are fielding restrictions in place. Back Levitt to put in a big innings here.
