Ireland Women and Scotland Women's T20 international series has been altered after rain wiped out the first game in Belfast on Sunday.
The four-match series will now begin on Monday with one game a day through to Thursday as Ireland Women return to international cricket for the first time since 2019.
Monday and Thursday's games will start at 11am, with the matches on Tuesday - which was initially a reserve day - and Wednesday starting at 1pm.
Ireland coach Ed Joyce - who was appointed almost two years ago but is yet to take charge of his side in a game - said when the series was initially announced: "The Scots will be a good challenge.
"ICC ranking points will also be on the line, so we're very much gearing up for a competitive series.
