THE VILLAGE (DUBLIN) Pitch Report

ODI Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

The small stands leave the ground exposed to the elements with strong winds known to trouble bowlers. Other than the winds swing and seam bowlers can expect a fair amount of assistance at Malahide. A generous covering of grass usually adorns the top of the strip at Malahide which is necessary to ensure that the pace of the track is maintained. The batsmen will likely have to contend with a fair amount of sideways movement and the threat of a sticky wicket is never too far away in the damp climes of Ireland. Here only 19 matches played in last 10 years out of which 9 matches won by the team batting first and 8 matches won by the team batting second and 2 matches went with a no result.

Here are last ODI matches average scores of both Innings at THE VILLAGE ground:

ODI Matches 1st Innings Average Score – 286 runs

ODI Matches 2nd Innings Average Score – 213 runs

T20I Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

The pitch is decent enough to bat on. Bowlers do also get help if they hit the right line and length. It is a good batting track and the ball should skid on bat nicely whereas the new ball could swing around, the fast bowlers will have to look to slow their pace. As of now 13 matches played in the last 10 years out of which 7 matches won by the team batting first and 6 matches won by the team batting second.

Here are last T20I matches average scores of both Innings at THE VILLAGE ground:
