Squads:
Typhoons – Rebecca Stokell (C), Ally Boucher, Ava Canning, Zara Craig, Laura Delany, Georgina Dempsey, Sarah Forbes, Joanna Loughran, Lara McBride, Isabelle Mclean, Julie McNally, Freya Sargent, Annabel Squires, Sinead Thomson, Alice Walsh, *Ocean Bartlett, *Anna Gaging, *Robyn Searle

Players to watch out:
Rebecca Stokell
The 24-year-old top-order batter accumulated 72 runs in the 1st leg fixtures. Rebecca wasn’t consistently among the runs in the recently concluded T20 season; however, she had a decent outing with 90 runs to her name. It is hoped that she builds on her performances and registers big knocks in the 50-over games.
Georgina Dempsey
The 19-year-old pacer scalped 4 wickets in the first-leg Super 50 Cup and carried her form into the T20 season, leading the tally with 7 scalps. Given the form she has been in of late, she’ll be counted on for wickets, picking up where she left off. She is a handy contributor with the bat and can be relied upon for the goods.
Orla Prendergast
The 22-year-old all-rounder posted 76 runs and registered a wicket in the first-leg One-Day fixtures. Orla bettered her performances in the T20 season, amassing 154 runs and claiming 4 wickets. She’ll be banked upon to carry this outstanding form into the 2nd leg of the Super 50 Cup, delivering all-round efforts.
Cara Murray
The 23-year-old leg-spinner picked up 7 wickets, including a best of 5/42, in the 1st leg of the Super 50 Cup. Cara struggled for consistency in the recently concluded T20 season, managing only 3 wickets. However, she should be backed to rediscover her form and can be counted on to produce breakthroughs.
Pitch:
The 22-yard strip at The Inch pleases the bowlers, particularly the pacers, and poses challenges for the batters. The pace-friendly conditions result in a modest average score, demanding discipline from batters to post a fighting total.
Weather:
It will be a pleasant day for cricket in Dublin with no expected rain interruptions, despite cloudy skies. The temperature will be around 19°C, with moderate winds and 69% humidity.
