Summary

The opening round of fixtures saw Ireland beat the Netherlands by 79 runs and Thailand beat Scotland by 74 runs.

Scotland beat the Netherlands by five runs, to leave the hosts without a win from their first two matches. Thailand's match against Ireland was initially reduced to 14 overs, before another delay with the bowler's run-up reduced the game to 10 overs per side.
