Scotland face off against Ireland in the third and final match of the T20I series at the Bready Cricket Club in Magheramason, Bready on Friday. With the 2nd T20I being washed out on Friday, this game is all for pride for Ireland as they look to level terms, while Scotland would look for an elusive win to seal the series.

Considering the match on Thursday, the top order failed to contribute much, with opener, Stuart Poynter, John Anderson and Andrew Poynter failing to reach double figures. David Rankin and skipper, Kevin O’Brien were the top scorers with 34 and 30 respectively. Scotland, on the other hand, played really well with most of the players contributing. It was mostly due to the healthy knock of 60 from Matthew Cross that did did the job for his side. LIVE UPDATES: Ireland vs Scotland, 3rd T20I at Bready
