The third ODI between the Netherlands and Ireland is set to take place at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht on Monday.
After a disappointing loss to the Dutch in the first ODI, Ireland came up with a sensational bowling performance to level the series earlier in the week. The duo of Craig Young and Josh Little took eight wickets between them to derail the Netherlands, with Paul Stirling shining with the bat yet again. With momentum on their side, Ireland will look to seal a series win, although it isn't going to be an easy task.
The Netherlands, with the inclusion of Logan van Beek and Stephan Myburgh, have already shown that they are capable of beating Ireland. However, they failed to deliver on the batting front in the second ODI. The Dutch will need the likes of Max O'Dowd and Bas de Leede to score big if they are to come close to beating the Irish.
With the series on the line, both teams will go all-out for the win in what promises to be an entertaining game at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd on Monday.

Pitch Report
Although a fresh track is expected on Monday, there should be enough help on offer for the bowlers to keep them interested. While there will be some swing available with the new ball, the batsmen will target the powerplay overs to score quick runs. The pitch will get slower as the game progresses, bringing the spinners into play. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 220-230 being par at the venue.
