The Netherlands Women are back in action in 50-over cricket, and they begin their three-match ODI tour of Scotland with the first game against the hosts. For readers looking for the NED-W vs SCO-W Fantasy Team, the match brings the two sides together at Titwood in Glasgow, with both teams looking to start the series on a winning note.
Scotland will be led by Sarah Bryce, while Babette de Leede will captain the Netherlands. Scotland have included four new faces in their ODI squad, while the Netherlands have handed a call-up to Noa Mai, who could be in line for her international debut.

Key Match Factors
Scotland’s Recent Advantage
Scotland have beaten the Netherlands several times this year, although most of those matches were T20s. They will take confidence from those results, but the move to 50-over cricket means patience will be just as important as attacking cricket.
Sarah Bryce’s Role
Sarah Bryce will have an important job at the top of the order and behind the stumps. With Scotland playing at home, her ability to provide a good start could set the tone for the innings.
Babette de Leede Leads the Dutch
Babette de Leede takes charge of the Netherlands for this ODI series. She will be one of the key players for the visitors, both as captain and wicketkeeper-batter.
New Faces for Scotland
Scotland have added Ammy Baldie, Rebecca McCrossan, Charlotte Nevard and Isabella Watson to their squad. All four are among the new faces selected for the series.
Noa Mai Could Make Her Debut
The Netherlands have included Noa Mai in their 15-player squad. The young player is in contention for her first international cap, giving the visitors an interesting selection decision before the match.

Key Player Battles
Sarah Bryce vs Netherlands’ New Ball Attack
Bryce’s start will be important for Scotland. If she can get through the opening spell, she can build an innings and put the Netherlands under pressure.
Babette de Leede vs Scotland’s Pacers
The Netherlands captain will have to lead from the front with the bat. Scotland’s pace attack has done well against the Dutch in recent meetings, so de Leede’s contribution could be crucial.
Katherine Fraser vs Dutch Spinners
Fraser has already shown what she can do against the Netherlands in T20 cricket. Her ability to score quickly while also contributing with the ball makes her one of Scotland’s players to watch.
Darcey Carter vs Netherlands Bowling
Carter has been one of Scotland’s useful batting options and recently produced a fighting half-century against West Indies at the Women’s T20 World Cup. She could again have an important role in the middle order.

Match Prediction
Scotland start as the slightly stronger side.
They have home advantage and have already beaten the Netherlands several times in 2026. Their recent T20 results against the Dutch have been particularly convincing, although this is now a different challenge in ODI cricket.
The Netherlands should not be written off. Their previous ODI meeting with Scotland was split, and they have players capable of building a long innings. Babette de Leede and Robine Rijke will have important roles to play.
The venue record makes the toss interesting. With five of six ODIs at Titwood won by the chasing side, the captain winning the toss may prefer to bowl first.
Scotland’s recent results against the Netherlands give them the edge, and playing at home adds to their advantage.
Prediction: Scotland Women to win.
