3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s ECN Netherlands-Ireland T20IW match – August 16, 2023

The second T20 International Women’s (T20IW) match of the ECN Netherlands-Ireland T20IW 2023 will take place at VRA Ground in Armstelveen on August 16. The match will get underway at 05:30 PM IST.

In the first match, the Netherlands Women experienced a lopsided defeat by 10 wickets. They batted first and managed to set a target of 93 runs with Robine Rijke top scoring with 38.

Ireland’s bowlers, particularly Arlene Kelly who took a five-fer, stymied the Netherlands’ batting effort. In reply, Gaby Lewis (49*) and Amy Hunter (43*) comfortably chased down the target in the 14th over

On that note, here are the three players you can pick as captain/vice-captain for the upcoming ND-W vs IR-W Dream11 match:

#3 Robine Rijke (ND-W) – 8.5 credits

Robine Rijke played a significant role for the Netherlands Women in the last match, contributing 38 runs off 35 balls with four boundaries. Her track record against Ireland Women in T20Is is impressive, with a total of 123 runs at an average of 26.40 across seven matches.

This year, she has also showcased her bowling skills in T20Is, taking a total of eight wickets. Rijke’s versatility makes her a strong candidate for the captain/vice-captain position in your ND-W vs IR-W Dream11 Team.

#2 Amy Hunter (IR-W) – 8.0 credits

Amy Hunter, a wicket-keeper batter for Ireland, has been in excellent form over the past five games. She has scored 185 runs at an impressive average of 46.25, including a half-century against Australia Women.

Hunter’s previous match saw her achieve a career-best T20I score of 49 not out alongside opening partner Gaby Lewis. Averaging 22.35 in T20Is and having adept wicket-keeping skills, Hunter is a wise pick as captain/vice-captain in your ND-W vs IR-W Dream11 Team.
