World T20, 11th Match, First Round Group A: Ireland v Netherlands - Players to watch out for

New Delhi: Ireland take on Netherlands on Sunday in the ICC World Twenty20 qualifier at Dharamsala.

While this match may be inconsequential in terms of its impact on the tournament, both teams will be out to prove a point.

Here are two players who can make all the difference in this encounter.

Kevin O'Brien (Ireland): The all-rounder is among the most experienced players in the Ireland side. However, he has not played up to his potential in the tournament so far. The 32-year-old has picked up two wickets and scored 14 runs in two outings. Against Netherlands, the Irish side will expect a major contribution from O'Brien.

Roelof van der Merwe (Netherlands): Roelof van der Merwe is an experienced campaigner in the T20 format. The all-rounder has not just played for South Africa, but also represented the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. Against Ireland, the Dutch side will hope the 31-year-old finally finds form in the mega tournament.
