Ireland can head to the T20 World Cup with a spring in their step after edging out the Netherlands by three runs to finish their table-topping tri-nations campaign with a flourish.
Netherlands forward Lieke Martens will retire from international football in June, the 31-year-old announced on Tuesday.
Holywood's Mark Adair starred with the bat then just about held his nerve with the ball as Ireland claimed a thrilling one-run win over the Netherlands at The Hague. In the second match of the T20 Tri-Nations series, also involving Scotland, Ireland stumbled to 83 for six in the 14th over, but Adair thumped seven fours and two sixes in his 49 off just 24 balls. While he fell lbw in the final over to Tim Pringle, who was the pick of the hosts' attack with three for 32, his efforts plus Lorcan Tucker’s 40 off 30 balls formed the backbone of Ireland’s 150 for eight. The Netherlands reached 69 for two at halfway but were unusually becalmed in the middle period and went without a boundary from the end of the ninth over until the end of the 14th. Fionn Hand was brilliant with three for 18, while Curtis Campher chipped in with two for 33 as Adair, who took the wicket of Netherlands captain Scott Edwards, was left to defend 20 from the last over.
Experienced Scott Edwards was on Monday named as the captain of the Netherlands for next month's T20 World Cup, the Royal Dutch Cricket Association announced. The 27-year-old Edwards was elected the skipper despite his modest outings in the recent tri-series, involving hosts Nepal and Namibia. Overall, he has played 56 T20I for the Netherlands, scoring 671 runs at a strike-rate of 122. Indian-origin cricketers – Teja Nidamanuru, Vikram Singh and Aryan Dutt – are also part of the squad.
