The Scotland cricket team toured the Netherlands in May 2021 to play two One Day International (ODI) matches in Rotterdam.[1][2] Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Netherlands last played an ODI match in June 2019,[3] and Scotland's last ODI match was in December 2019.[4] Originally, the second ODI was scheduled to be played on 21 May, but the fixture was brought forward by one day after bad weather was forecast.[5]
