Netherlands National Cricket Team Records and Stats
Covers 214 matches played by Netherlands from Feb 2003 to Jul 2026 (Afghanistan matches are not in the open data set).
Is the Netherlands national cricket team better in short or long white-ball games? Their 214 internationals logged between Feb 2003 and Jul 2026 give a clear answer: the Dutch have won more T20Is than they have lost, but trail in ODIs.
The T20I ledger shows 58 wins and 54 defeats; the ODI ledger 35 wins and 56 defeats. Matches against Afghanistan are not part of this data set, so Dutch games against them do not count here.
How the Netherlands National Cricket Team Fares in Each Format
In 118 T20Is since Aug 2008, 51.8% of decided T20Is have ended in Dutch wins, with 3 ties and 3 washouts on the side. Their latest run in the data was tough: from 30 Aug 2025 to 18 Feb 2026 they won only 1 of 6 completed T20Is, a 7-wicket win over Namibia at Delhi. The defeats included a 93-run loss to the USA at Chennai.
The ODI record is 35 wins from 96, a 38.5% share of decided matches, plus 1 tie and 4 no results. The 2026 form was better. At Utrecht in Jul 2026 they beat Nepal twice and Namibia once before Namibia won the last game there by 6 wickets.
Their best ODI wins include an 87-run upset of Bangladesh at Eden Gardens on 28 Oct 2023, and a 113-run win at Amstelveen on 6 May 2025.

Record Against Each Opponent
Against the leading ODI nations, the Dutch record is bare. England have beaten them 6 times out of 6, Pakistan 5 of 5, New Zealand 4 of 4, and India and Sri Lanka 3 of 3 each. Beyond Zimbabwe (3-4) and Ireland (2-4), their ODI wins over full members amount to one against South Africa in 6 games and one against Bangladesh in 2 (see Netherlands vs Bangladesh).
Among their Associate peers they hold their own. They are 4-0 against the USA in ODIs, 5-1 against Canada, and 5-2 against Namibia (full details on Namibia vs Netherlands).
In T20Is, the Netherlands are 2-0 against England, a rare clean sheet against a major side. Their most frequent opponents are Scotland (7-9 in 16) and Ireland (7-7 in 14). Sri Lanka are the hardest T20I opponent, with 4 wins from 4. The rivalry with the USA sits at 3-1 to the Dutch.
Netherlands Cricket Team Players: Top Scorers and Bowlers
MP O’Dowd (Netherlands) is the central figure. His 2,258 ODI runs and 2,229 T20I runs are both team bests, his unbeaten 158 against Scotland at Dundee (Jun 2025) is the highest Dutch ODI innings, and 10 match awards put him first on that list too. SA Edwards (Netherlands) is just behind him on 2,156 ODI runs and averages 40.68.
With the ball, A Dutt (Netherlands) is out in front in ODIs on 73, and his 6/34 against Namibia is the best Dutch return. PA van Meekeren (Netherlands) leads the T20I list with 84. M Levitt (Netherlands) holds the T20I best of 135 off 62 balls, part of a record 247/5 against Namibia.
The low points are stark: 39 all out against Sri Lanka in Mar 2014 and 44 against the same side in Oct 2021, both T20Is.
