Prior to the series, Scotland played two T20I matches against Pakistan, while Ireland used the matches as preparation for their matches against India, that took place later in June.[4] Ahead of the series, Ireland named Gary Wilson as their new T20I captain, after William Porterfield stepped aside to focus on Test and One Day International (ODI) cricket.[5]

The fourth match of the series, between Ireland and Scotland, ended in a tie, with no Super Over contested to determine the winner.[6] However, both teams knew that there would not be a Super Over in the event of a tie before the match.[6] The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that there should have been a Super Over, and apologised for the oversight.[7] In the event, the tied game proved pivotal as Scotland won the series, after two wins and a tie, with the Netherlands in second place and Ireland in third.[8]

Squads

Timm van der Gugten, Paul van Meekeren, Roelof van der Merwe and Ryan ten Doeschate were all tentatively named in the Netherlands' squad, with their availability confirmed on a match-by-match basis.[10]
