Series summary

Ireland Wolves started their home series with a 94 runs win as Shane Getkate's 74 runs off just 40 balls guided the Wolves to secure 276 runs in 50 overs. In response, Netherlands A could not sustain a partnership as they started to regularly lose wickets in the early overs, with Craig Young the best bowler by the Wolves, who bagged 2 wickets conceding 37 runs. [11] [12] [13]

While in the following match, Netherlands A fought back to level the series, as the low aggregate match ended with Dutch A side's victory by 5 wickets while chasing 95. Vivian Kingma's economic three wicket haul for just 5 runs and the consistent figures of other Dutch bowlers never allowed the Irish batters to settle in the innings. [14] [15]

In the final match, Ireland Wolves won by 5 wickets to claim the series 2–1. This time, Netherlands A had a disappointing first innings as Graeme McCarter claimed 6 for 32 to star in the Wolves' victory. [16] [17]
