Pre-Match Analysis:
The Netherlands didn’t give any sort of chance to the USA to gain control over them as the hosts dominated in all aspects to notch up a 3-0 series win with a game in hand. After the 1st T20I was washed out completely without a ball bowled, they went after the visitors to secure wins by a margin of 16 runs, 53 runs, and 52 runs in the next 3 outings, showing their supremacy across regions.
Sterre Kalis, in between her packed County commitments, did well in the series, scoring 111 runs in 3 matches. Heather Siegers (90 runs and one wicket), Silver Siegers ( 5 wickets), and Skipper Babette de Leede (75 runs) played a pivotal role in the success.
Having taken a 3-0 unassailable lead, they will be aiming for a 4-0 win.
The USA collectively failed as a unit throughout the series and ultimately ended up on the losing side. Bowling was somewhat okay, conceding the scores of 87 for 2, 128 for 4, and 164 for 5, but the batters failed to make a mark and often got struck to accelerate, despite having plenty of wickets in hand. It was evident in their last outing, as they managed only 112 for 5 at the end of the 20 overs. Skipper Aditiba Chudasama was the lone warrior in the losing cause and remained unbeaten on 60*.
With pride at stake, they will be keen to wind off the series with a consolation victory.
