Scotland W vs Netherlands W is scheduled for Sunday, 30 August 2026. The match is part of the Netherlands Women tour of Scotland - 2nd ODI. It is played at New Williamfield No1 Oval, Stirling. Date: Sunday, 30 August 2026.
Scotland Women will bid to complete a whitewash of the Netherlands on Sunday at Grange, with the hosts already 1-0 up in the three-match ODI series. The second fixture gives the Dutch a chance to salvage something from the tour, but they face a side that has won both previous meetings between the teams.
That unbeaten record carries weight. Scotland have shown they know how to handle the Netherlands in this format, and home advantage at Grange should only strengthen their position. A second consecutive victory would put them within touching distance of a clean sweep.
The Netherlands, though, arrive as a touring side with something to prove. They cannot afford another defeat if they want to leave Scotland with a positive result to take home. The pressure shifts slightly in their favour simply because losing again would effectively end the series as a contest.
This is not a dead rubber. The second match of any three-game series is often where momentum crystallises. If Scotland win, they will have the luxury of playing the final ODI with the series already secured. If the Netherlands pull off a victory, they reset the dynamic and hand themselves a genuine chance of leaving with a drawn series.
For Scotland, consistency across the three matches will matter as much as individual performances. The Netherlands will need to identify where they fell short in the first game and correct it quickly.
The match starts at 10:00 BST on Sunday.
