A clinical batting display by Gaby Lewis and another outstanding bowling performance by Leah Paul led Ireland Women to a 3-1 series win over Scotland at Stormont on Thursday.

Lewis' 40-ball knock earned her the Player of the Match award while Paul's consistent week in Belfast earned her the Player of the Series nod as the Irish women returned to action after a long lay-off in impressive style.
