After the first scheduled match of the series in Schiedam was abandoned due to a wet outfield, Namibia won a low-scoring opening contest with one ball remaining in their innings.[10] However, later the same day, Netherlands won the next game by 70 runs after captain Heather Siegers was dropped five times in her innings of 41 and the Namibians were then bowled out for only 29 runs.[11] the series moved on to Voorburg, where the sides again traded wins with Namibia again chased down their target in the final over,[12] before hosts completed a 5-run victory in a rain-affected match later in the afternoon.[13] The series decider was another close encounter, with the visitors looking set complete another tense run-chase, but a wicket maiden by Frederique Overdijk in the final over sealed a 2-run success and a 3–2 series win for the Netherlands.[14]
