The Dutch won the third and final ODI by 4 wickets on Monday. The Irish were all out for 163 in the last over. The Netherlands overcame that with 25 balls left.

The three-match series was won by the Netherlands 2-1. They got 10 more points in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.

Dutch opener Myburgh made 74 off 111 balls on that pitch that has a lot of support for the bowlers. In the innings that shaped the fate of his match, 3 sixes along with 6 fours.

The Netherlands got an indescribable taste of winning their first series against a Test playing nation without key players like Roelof van der Marwe and Ryan Ten Doeschate.

Ireland did not have a good start after winning the toss and opting to bat. Kevin O'Brien was dismissed in the first over. Paul Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie did not take part. He lost 3 wickets for 26 runs.

From there, the team was led by Harry Tector and George Dockrell. This partnership added 69 runs for the fourth wicket. Logan van Beek broke the tie by returning Dockrell for 40 runs. The tractor could not go further after leaving fifty. He was stopped by 30-year-old New Zealand-born medium pacer Van Beek.
