Players to watch out:
Mary-Anne Musonda
The 31-year-old Zimbabwean in 32 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) has scored 571 runs, including the highest of 60 at an average of 23.79. Musonda has had a good start in the series with scores of 38(25) and 36*(49).
Hannah Little
The 21-year-old has featured in 4 T20Is for Ireland but hasn’t had the start she would have wished for in her international cricket. Nevertheless, she’s ticked well in the series figures of 0/15 (3) and 2/6 (4).
Robyn Searle
The 25-year-old South African batter holds the experience of having featured in the Emerging, U-19, and Senior Women’s teams. Robyn has led the Typhoons’ runs chart with 39 runs in the sides’ only outing.
Georgina Dempsey
The 18-year-old Irish all-rounder in 9 T20Is has only struck 4 wickets and will eye a comeback into the team on the back of a healthy Super Series. Georgina has started well with a couple of wickets and will eye to carry her momentum.
Pitch:
The Anglesea Road Cricket Ground in Merrion offers a neutral wicket that pleases both batsmen and bowlers, particularly pacers. Any score in the 140s should be considered a competitive total on this wicket.
Weather:
With a high chance of rain at 80%, expect potential delays and interruptions throughout the game if the skies do not clear. However, the temperature is expected to be around 13°C, with light winds and a humidity level of 81%.
