Women's Tri-Series 2023 - Netherlands vs Scotland, Match 6: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
The final match of the action-packed Women’s Tri-Series 2023 will take place between Netherlands Women and Scotland Women at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd Ground in Utrecht. The game is expected to commence on Saturday, July 15, at 5:30 pm IST.
This will be a do-or-die battle for Scotland Women as they look to topple the table-toppers Thailand Women. While for Netherlands Women it was already a little too late as they were severely behind both in terms of NRR and rankings.
Netherlands Women were decimated by the Thai bowlers as they ran through their defenses in a flash. Apart from Sterre Kalis, no other batter could survive the onslaught from the Thailand Women bowlers as they were bundled out for a paltry score of 75.
Thipatcha Putthawong picked up a five-wicket haul to obliterate the fragile Ducth batting lineup. It turned out to be a very sorry batting scorecard for the Dutch as no one apart from Kalis was able to register a double-digit score. Their defeat in the last game has also pushed them further away from the title as their NRR has dipped to a paltry low of -0.487.
Scotland Women have a real chance of toppling Thailand from the top but they will need to play really well and beat the Dutch by a comprehensive margin, which will be no ordinary feat for them. The team so far has done well in their last two T20I games. After going down in the first game against Thailand Women, Scotland made a remarkable comeback.
They were the first to defeat the hosts by a comprehensive margin of six runs. And in their last game, they chased down a stiff target of 103 under tricky batting conditions well inside 20 overs.

Netherlands Vs Scotland Women Pitch Report
In the ongoing tri-series, teams have had more success in chasing down totals. Anything around the 100-run mark has been chased with relative ease. However, the surface is known for its slow nature as the spinners have had great success bowling on this surface. Either team batting first should look to post anything in excess of 100 runs to exert pressure on the other side.
While teams bowling first should try their best to restrict the batting side between the range of 80-100 runs.
