New Zealand and South Africa won the T20I series against Netherlands and Ireland

New Zealand vs Netherlands:
Kiwis registered a comfortable win in 2nd T20I against Netherlands and also clinched the series by 2-0. They bowled first in this match after losing the toss and restricted Netherlands on 147. Bracewell performed brilliantly again and took 2 wickets with the economy of only 5 in 4 overs. 
The target was not too challenging for the Kiwis and they chased it easily in just 14 overs. The openers were not great but the knocks played by their captain, Mitchell Santner and by Daryl Mitchell were absolutely amazing. They won the game by 8 wickets and Santner became man of the match for his outstanding knock. Blackcaps will now tour West Indies for ODI and T20I series.
South Africa vs Ireland:
Proteas won the final T20I by 44 runs against Ireland and also won the series. South Africa posted a good total of 182 in 20 overs after batting first. The top three batters were not impressive at all because they scored with low strike rate but the quick knocks played by Markram (27 in 10), Hendricks(39 in 16), Miller(32 in 20) and Pretorius(17 in 7) helped them to reach at big total. Only Josua Little and Gareth Delany were the economical bowlers from their side. 
Only 4 Ireland batters scored over 10 while chasing and the stunning bowling figures of Wayne Parnell(5 wickets in 4 overs) helped South Africa to win the game by 44 runs. Proteas will now tour England and will play the test series beginning from 17th of August.
