20:39 IST and 17:09 Local Time | Due to the persistent rainfall, today's game between Ireland and Scotland has been abandoned. Paul Stirling and Richard Berrington, the skippers of both sides, are shaking hands now. The drizzle is steady enough, and it is very gloomy. Umpires have opined that it is not safe for the players to play in the wet outfield with the World Cup around the corner.
20:26 IST and 16:56 Local Time | The drizzle is persistent and the inspection is very near. We might have more delay before the game starts.
19:56 IST and 16:26 Local Time | The rain has eased off it seems but the pitch is under cover. We will have an inspection on 20:30 IST and 17:00 Local Time.
19:44 IST and 16:14 Local Time | Nothing new to update about the rain. It is still drizzling lightly at the venue.
In the last game, Ireland have got a victory by just 1 runs against Netherlands. Mark Adair showed some terrific all-round performance and Fionn Hand was exceptional with the ball and that helped them to come out victorious.
Scotland started the series with a defeat against Netherlands. Vivian Kingma demolished their batting with a bowling figure of 4/21. But Richard Berrington and Matthew Cross performed better than the others with the bat. Their batting was the only takeaway for them from that game.
