The stage is set for an intense battle as Scotland take on the Netherlands in the 4th match of the Scotland T20I Tri-Series 2025. The match will be played at Titwood Cricket Ground, Glasgow on June 18, 2025, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 7:30 PM IST.
Scotland enters this clash on the back of a narrow loss to Nepal. Despite a gritty effort, the team couldn't cross the finish line and will now aim for redemption. Skipper Matthew Cross will demand more firepower from his batters, especially in the top order.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, come into this game with boosted confidence. Their thrilling Super Over victory against Nepal showcased their composure under pressure. With the likes of Scott Edwards and Paul van Meekeren in form, they’ll look to keep their winning momentum going.
Despite the match mistakenly cited earlier as being in Dundee, Titwood's surface is known to support high-scoring encounters. The pitch is flat, and the outfield is quick, favoring aggressive batters. Bowlers may struggle without variation. Expect another high-scoring affair if the weather remains favorable.
The weather in Glasgow is expected to be clear and sunny, with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 8°C. There won't be any rain, thus the game will go to the end.
A very closely contested rivalry, with Scotland holding a slender edge historically.
