Netherlands vs Scotland Betting Tips
Netherlands to score under 21.5 runs 1st dismissal (1.85 @ Parimatch)
The Netherlands have presented a strong batting front in the past few games. Before entering this series, NED posted the scores of 15, 4 & 83 runs before their first dismissal in the last three outings. Max O’Dowd and Michael Levitt opened for the side in those games and suffered with inconsistency. They will be up against Scotland in the next game who have done pretty well in the bowling department. That said, they will be expected to lose an early wicket in the upcoming clash against Scotland.
