Ireland vs Netherlands

Cricket World Cup 2011- Group B

Eden Gardens, Kolkata- 18th March 2011-

Ireland will look to end their World Cup campaign on a winning note when they face the Netherlands at Eden Gardens on Friday. Bet on Ireland vs Netherlands at the 2011 World Cup with PaddyPower after reading our betting preview at Sportsbookie.com.

Ireland have only won once in the tournament- an upset of neighbours England thanks to a fantastic knock from Kevin O’Brien. Unfortunately for the Irish, none of the other batsmen have really managed to capitalise on the starts they have got, resulting in the Irish losing several games from fairly winnable positions.

Against South Africa, the Irish bowlers did well, reducing the Proteas to 117/5. However JP Duminy and Colin Ingram managed to stage a fantastic recovery and helped South Africa reach 272/7. None of the Irish batsmen really got going, and the Proteas handed them a crushing 131 run defeat.

The Netherlands are the only team in Group B not to have won a single game at this World Cup. Against Bangladesh in Chittagong, only Ryan Ten Doeschate and to a lesser extent, Tom Cooper managed to get going, and the team folded up for a little over 150. Bangladesh raced to the target with plenty to spare.

Ireland have won five of their last six games against the Dutch and will be keen to preserve their record as the leading Associate Nation from this World Cup. A win against the Dutch will go a long way in helping them acheiving that statistic.

Verdict:- Ireland to overcome the Netherlands and finish with two wins from their group engagements.
