IRE vs ENG Outfield Report

 

The Village, Malahide, Dublin

 

The Dublin pitch has generally been batting-friendly with short boundaries aiding stroke play. However, spinners have occasionally found assistance in the middle overs. A score above 180 is often competitive here.

 

The weather forecast predicts mild evening conditions with temperatures around 18–20°C. Slight cloud cover is expected, but rain interruptions are unlikely. Humidity may help the pacers get some swing early.

 

Historically, Dublin has witnessed both high-scoring thrillers and modest totals. The highest first-innings scores often cross 190, while anything under 150 is considered below-par. Chasing teams have had a good record here, given the dew factor in the second innings.
