Ireland, with the help of some sensible batting from Paul Stirling (30*) and Gareth Delany (44) were able to chase down the meagre target of 107 in 15.1 overs. Netherland picked up Key Irish batters - Kevin O'Brian (9) and captain Bilbirnie (8) early - inside the first 5 overs but Ireland's another experienced batter Paul Stirling held one end and constructed a partnership of 59 runs with Delany to take his side to victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Delany smashed 5 fours & 2 sixes in his 29 ball innings while Stirling struck 1 four & 1 six for his slow yet sensible knock of 30* runs off 39 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Netherlands, Glover, Klaasen and Seelaar picked up 1 wicket each but the target was too low to defend and Netherlands bowlers couldn't pull off a miracle today. Netherlands would be eyeing to win their next matches and qualify for the main competition. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the first innings, Ireland bowler Curtis Campher shuffled through Netherlands batters as Irish team restricted Netherlands at 106\/10 in 20 overs. 22-year-old Campher picked up 4 wickets in 4 balls in the 10th over and gave Netherlands a shock which they couldn't recover from. For Ireland, Adair picked up 3 wickets while Little picked up 1. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Netherlands, opener Max ODowd scored 51 off 47 balls with 7 boundaries. However, none of the other batters could survive against the Irish bowling and Netherlands failed to score big in this important match up. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, Netherlands captain Pieter Seelaar won the toss and elected to bat first against Ireland in the 3rd match of Round 1 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. This match is being played at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
