Scotland (SCO) will take on the Netherlands (NED) in the 4th match of the Scotland T20I Tri-Series 2025, set to be played at Titwood Stadium, Glasgow, on 18th June 2025. Both teams have shown fighting spirit in their previous games and will be looking to gain a crucial win as the series progresses.
Scotland, led by Matthew Cross, will aim to bounce back after a narrow defeat to Nepal. Their batting unit, despite promising starts, has lacked the finishing touch, which will be under scrutiny against a disciplined Dutch bowling side.
The Netherlands, captained by Scott Edwards, come into this fixture riding high after a thrilling super-over win over Nepal. The Dutch side has displayed impressive balance, both in the top order and with the ball, and will look to maintain their momentum.
The ball comes onto the bat nicely, enabling stroke-making throughout the innings. Teams batting first have had a slight advantage, with an average first-innings score of 194, compared to 186 in the second innings. Recent ODIs at this venue have seen scores above 300, so expect a high-scoring T20.
Bright and clear skies are forecasted for Wednesday evening, offering perfect playing conditions. Temperatures are expected to range between 16°C to 8°C, and no rainfall is predicted during match hours.
This head-to-head record reflects a closely fought rivalry, with Scotland narrowly edging the Dutch side in historical T20 encounters.
