The Village, Dublin: Pitch Report

The Village in Dublin has offered a balanced surface throughout the tournament, helping both batters and bowlers. Batters can play their shots on the up, but will have to get their eye in before scoring big. Bowlers can get lateral movement early with the new ball, while spinners can get grip and turn as the ball gets older. Slower balls, cutters, and bowling into the surface could help seamers later as the ball gets older.
