Scotland secured an 11-run victory over Ireland on Monday, in the first of four Women’s T20 games between the sides in Belfast this week.
In a low-scoring encounter Katie McGill top-scored for the tourists with 20 from 22 balls as they made 87 for nine.
Leah Paul hit an unbeaten 18 but the Irish struggled and they were bowled out for 76 with three balls left with McGill taking three wickets.
Scotland, who won the toss, showed this would be a tough day for batters although Sarah Bryce (14), Kathyrn Bryce (12) and McGill provided a solid start.
Celeste Raack (3/15) was the best of the Irish bowlers while Captain Laura Delany took two for 13.
Shauna Kavanagh (12) was the only top-order batter to reach double figures as Ireland slumped to 48 for seven after 15.3 overs.
McGill (3/18) was ably supported by Kathryn Bryce (2/8) and Katherine Fraser (2/15) as Scotland went one up with three to play.
Chief scores
Scotland: 87/9 in 20 overs (K. McGill 20, C. Raack 3/15, L. Delany 2/13)
Ireland: 76 in 19.5 overs (K. McGill 3/18, K. Bryce 2/8).
