Nostragamus: Ireland Tri-Series 2019 – NED vs SCO Fantasy Preview

The 2019 Ireland tri-series began a couple of days back and it’s very much even stevens after a few days. The hosts Ireland were the initial favourites but after losing one game to rain and one to Netherlands, they now have just one win in 3 games, as do the other two teams in the tri-series so far. Now, the Dutch side plays Scotland in Match 5 of the tournament.

The venue sees rain through the year so choose your teams accordingly. There might be more for pacers, while the team winning the toss may want to field first. While Scotland is ranked higher on the T20 Rankings, so they are the favourites again.

Netherlands

With the bat, Ben Cooper sizzled at the top scoring an unbeaten 91 in the last game having scored just 1 in the game prior to that. However, he has experience across the globe including Australia where his brother Tom plays his cricket, so I’ll pick him. I’ll also pick Max O’Dowd as he has shown great talent ever since his international debut against Zimbabwe recently. Here, he has 84 runs in 2 games so far.

With the ball, Shane Snater has been their best so far with 5 scalps in 2 games so far including 3/42 the last time he played against Scotland. No other Dutch bowler has picked up more than 1 wicket so I’ll choose the experienced option of Pieter Seelaar who has 1 wicket so far but almost always bowls his quota while also being handy with the bat. Remember, he scored 96* in the first game.

Scotland

First name in my Nostragamus (sign-up with “READSCOOPS” for Rs.100 FREE) fantasy picks has to be George Munsey. Known to be a hard hitter of the ball, Munsey smashed 127* in the last game and is the highest scorer at this series, with 161 runs in 2 games and also the highest scorer at this ground. Captain Kyle Coetzer was at the GT20 Canada along with Munsey and is probably their best ever batsman of all time. I’ll pick both these players for sure.

With the ball, Safyaan Sharif is among the most experienced. He might’ve been hit around in the last 2 games with no wickets yet, but he’s a fighter and can also give it a whack with the bat if necessary. Another option with the ball could be Alasdair Evans who has managed 3 wickets in the last 2 games and has been a part of the Scotland set up since yearssss.
