The Village Stadium pitch report Dublin 2nd T20I

The Malahide Stadium in Dublin is a brilliant track to bat on, and it was proved in the last match by the Indian Cricket Team. This ground’s pitch is a flat one, and there is an even bounce on the track. Moreover, the boundaries at this ground are quite small as well, and the batters can take full advantage of it.

It is a good wicket to bat on, but there is a visible amount of swing in the initial overs of the match. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was able to swing the ball in the initial overs of the game. Due to overcast conditions and fresh wickets, the pacers will be threatening with the hard ball. If the batters can survive the initial phase, they will be able to play their shots.

A total of 20 T20I have been played at this ground, where five of them got cancelled or abandoned due to bad weather or other reasons. Out of those 15 matches, 9 matches have been won by the chasing teams, and 6 games have been won by the teams batting first.

The overcast conditions are expected to stay in this match as well, and this will encourage the pacers on the track. Both eams would want to chase after winning the toss.
