Cricket Ireland tweeted a picture of the Malahide pitch before the inspection
Ireland's second Twenty20 international with the Netherlands has been abandoned following a failed pitch inspection.
Heavy rain in Dublin throughout Tuesday left the Malahide pitch flooded.
A first pitch inspection took place at 15:00 BST, a hour before the match was set to start. But the match was called off with more rain forecast.
The match will now take place on Wednesday at 16:00 BST, where Ireland will aim to repeat Monday's opening-game victory over the Dutch.
The hosts won the first T20 match by 28 runs, helped by captain Laura Delany's 61 and three wickets from bowler Lara Martiz.
The four-match series is preparation for next month's Women's T20 World Cup qualifiers in Spain with the Netherlands one of Ireland's five opponents.
