The 2019 Netherlands Women's Quadrangular Series was a Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) cricket tournament that was held in Deventer, Netherlands, from 8 to 14 August 2019. [1] It took place ahead of the 2019 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament in Scotland. [2] The series was contested between the teams of Ireland, the Netherlands, Scotland and Thailand. [3] All the matches took place at the Sportpark Het Schootsveld. [4] [5] Thailand won the series, after winning five of their six matches, with Scotland finishing second. [6]
The opening round of fixtures saw Ireland beat the Netherlands by 79 runs and Thailand beat Scotland by 74 runs. [7] [8] On the second day, both matches were affected by rain, and were decided by the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern (DLS) method. Scotland beat the Netherlands by five runs, to leave the hosts without a win from their first two matches. [9] Thailand's match against Ireland was initially reduced to 14 overs, before another delay with the bowler's run-up reduced the game to 10 overs per side. [10] Thailand eventually won the match, beating Ireland by four runs. [11] The first Ireland-Scotland encounter saw Scotland win by eleven runs in a close match. [12] It was Scotland's first win against Ireland since 2011. [13] Thailand beat the Netherlands by eight wickets to remain unbeaten in the tournament ahead of the rest day, with the hosts winless from their three matches. [14] Thailand's win was their 17th win in a row, [15] breaking the previous record of 16 consecutive wins in WT20I cricket set by Australia. [16] [17]
The first match after the rest day was between Scotland and Thailand, with Scotland ending Thailand's unbeaten streak. [18] Scotland's captain, Sarah Bryce, scored four runs off the final ball of the match, to beat Thailand by five wickets. [19] In Ireland's match against the Netherlands, Ireland scored 213/4, their highest total in a WT20I match. [20] However, the match ended in a no result, with rain during the Netherlands' run chase. [21] The penultimate round of matches saw Scotland beat the Netherlands by 62 runs, by the DLS method, to win their fourth consecutive match. [22] Thailand beat Ireland by seven wickets, in another rain-affected match. [23] Onnicha Kamchomphu became the first bowler for Thailand to take a hat-trick in a WT20I match, finishing with three wickets for twelve runs from the two overs she bowled. [24] The final day of fixtures started with Ireland beating Scotland by nine wickets, with Gaby Lewis and Kim Garth setting a new record for the highest partnership for any wicket by Ireland in a WT20I match, with an unbeaten 113 runs. [25] The last match of the tournament saw Thailand beat the Netherlands by 93 runs, after the hosts only scored 40 runs in their run chase. [6]
