Gaby Lewis will renew her rivalry with opposite number Kathryn Bryce at Old Trafford on the second day of the T20 World Cup this summer when Ireland take on Scotland in their opening Group 2 match.

Skipper Lewis has mostly come off second best in recent meetings with Bryce and her Girls in Green will have to reverse that form to get a winning start before further encounters with England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the West Indies.

“To be back on the world stage, and so close to home, really is a dream come true,” Lewis said. “This will be a landmark moment for women’s cricket in Ireland.”

Full schedule:
June 13  Ireland v Scotland, Old Trafford
June 16  England v Ireland, Southampton
June 19  New Zealand, v Ireland, Southampton
June 23  Sri Lanka v Ireland, Bristol
June 27  Ireland v West Indies, Bristol
