The United States of America (USA) were last involved in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Americas Region Qualifier in March 2025 in Argentina. The team had an outstanding campaign in the tournament as they finished at the top of the points table with 10 points from six games, and as a result, they were crowned as the champions of the tournament.
The Netherlands, led by skipper Babette de Leede, were last involved in the T20I Tri-Nation series in Nepal in January, earlier this year. They also had an impressive campaign as they finished 2nd on the points table with 8 points from six games that included four victories.
In their next assignment, Netherlands will be hosting the United States of America for a historic five-match T20I series from 7th June 2025 to 13th June 2025. These two sides will be up against each other for the first time ever for a bilateral T20I series at the international level.
The venues, broadcast, and streaming details and squad announcements of the series are yet to be announced and will be released in the coming days.
