Rain forced the abandonment of the first match of the Ireland v Scotland women’s T20 series today – with both teams agreeing to reschedule the match to Tuesday. A further change has also been made to maximise playing time in the Series, with tomorrow’s match now starting at 11am.
Tuesday 25 May was initially set aside as a Reserve Day – this will now be activated and become a playing day.
The series’ fixtures now stand as follows:
• 24 May 2021: Ireland Women v Scotland Women – 1st T20I (Stormont, starting 11am)
• 25 May 2021: Ireland Women v Scotland Women – 2nd T20I (Stormont, starting 1pm)
• 26 May 2021: Ireland Women v Scotland Women – 3rd T20I (Stormont, starting 1pm)
• 27 May 2021: Ireland Women v Scotland Women – 4th T20I (Stormont, starting 11am)
The matches will be livestreamed and livescored via the Cricket Ireland match centre.
