Is Clontarf Cricket Club's Pitch batting or bowling friendly?

Clontarf Cricket Club’s pitch in Dublin generally favours bowlers, particularly fast bowlers who can exploit the surface for movement and bounce. Historical data says that wickets fall here regularly. The pitch tends to assist right-arm fast-medium bowlers the most, who have taken the majority of wickets, while left-arm pacers also find some success.

Batting can be challenging due to the unpredictable movement of the ball, especially under cloudy conditions, making shot selection crucial. With bowlers getting favours early, the toss-winning captain would like to field first here.
