Ireland completed a clean sweep of their T20I series against The Netherlands, but they were pushed all the way by the hosts, who took the contest to the final over.

The Oranje posted 116 for 6 with Iris Zwilling hitting 2 sixes and 2 fours in her 56.

Arlene Kelly (2-20) was again the most successful Irish bowler, taking her weekly tally to 10.

Unlike previous games, the Irish lost early wickets and were very much in a real contest at 69 for 4 in the 13th.

An unbroken fifth wicket stand of 50 by Rebecca Stokell (33*) and Sophie MacMahon (23*) got the Irish over the line with five balls to spare, although the hosts will be rueing some missed opportunities.
