IRE Key Players
Andy Balbirnie: Starred when these teams last met and arrives in good form too, having hit 81 and 90 in two of his last three innings for Leinster. He also hammered an ODI century against Zimbabwe earlier this year too.
Paul Stirling: Arrives in the Irish squad having been part of Middlesex’s incredible top-order line-up for the T20 Blast. While he failed to deliver on a number of good starts, he does continue to boast a T20 strike rate of 142.62 ahead of this, his 200th match in the format.
Mark Adair: The all-rounder claimed 4-40 in Ireland’s most recent T20i win, against Zimbabwe, and then scored 38 from 15 balls with the bat in the next game. His recent form for Northern Knights has been solid too.
NED Key Players
Tobias Visee: Showed his form with some useful knocks at the Global T20 Canada, including one half-century, and will now look to build on his T20i strike rate of 161.82 from 14 games.
Max O’Dowd: In top form against Zimbabwe and he maintained that against the UAE with two half-centuries in the four matches.
Pieter Seelaar: Took three wickets with his slow left-arm spin and also scored 80 runs in the series against the UAE. It followed similarly good all-round form against Zimbabwe.
