For match no. 2 of the ongoing Women’s Super Twenty20 (T20) Trophy, the Dragons and the Typhoons will lock horns at Wallace Park, Lisburn, on the 7th of May, 2023, at 3:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
Dragons were cheaply restricted to a mere 82 runs in the curtain raiser against the Scorchers, and despite their previous successes, the Dragons couldn’t find their rhythm and suffered a 5-wicket defeat. While the Dragons have had a field day, though a tough one, the Typhoons await their first outing of the season.

Pitch:
Wallace Park in Lisburn has traditionally offered well-balanced wickets that slightly favor the batters. The conditions resemble those found in England, so pacers can expect assistance at the venue, while spinners may have a lesser advantage.
Weather:
Cloudy skies and chances of rain throughout the day don’t make for the best conditions for a game of cricket. The temperature is forecasted to be around 16°C with light winds and a humidity of 77%.
