IRELAND’S second T20 against West Indies was abandoned on Saturday without a ball being bowled because of heavy rain.

The three-match series was due to begin at Bready on Thursday, but that match was called off due to the wet weather.

Saturday’s second match at the same ground was meant to start at 15:00 BST, but it was delayed by an hour before a pitch inspection at 16:00 hours resulted in the surface being deemed unplayable.

The third game of the series is scheduled for today at 15:00 hours.

The series is the second this year between the two sides who split an ODI series in Dublin last month.
