Netherlands Women vs Scotland Women Prediction: Netherlands Women won the last two games against Scotland

Netherlands Women and Scotland Women are going to face each other in the Match 3 of One Day Series at VRA Cricket Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Netherlands on 08 August 2024. Netherlands Women won the last two games against the same opposition. Who will win this game of cricket?

The Netherlands Women won the first game of the series by 77 balls against Papua New Guinea but lost seven wickets during the chase, which definitely could be a cause of concern for the team management as they face a much stronger opponent. What will be important is for runs to come from the top order, with no collapse like in the previous game where the top three batsmen had been sent back for a mere 14 runs on board, including skipper Babette de Leede and Phebe Molkenboer. The bowling unit, led by Iris Zwilling and Hannah Landheer, showed some belief by clicking on three-wicket hauls in the last match and will look to do the same in the upcoming game.

There is some confidence in the Scotland Women's camp going into this game after convincingly beating the Papua New Guinea Women by 62 runs in the second game of the series. They were ably assisted by Saskia Horley and Katherine Fraser, whose contributions of 174 added to the 258 total. The latter, indeed, was unbeaten on 74 when batting at number seven; maybe she will bat a little higher up the order in the next game. Abtaha Maqsood and Horley then rounded off fine all-round performances with ball by returning four-wicket hauls. She again will be expected to play a big role with her all-round skills.

Though Scotland Women can come into this game in fine nick, we feel that Netherlands Women have the better team to perform equally well in both disciplines. Hence, we see Netherlands Women winning this close encounter. We are going for Netherlands Women to win.
