After suffering a close 2-3 defeat against West Indies, India will aim at redemption when they take on Ireland in the first T20I of the three-match series in Malahide on Friday. With the Asia Cup around the corner, India have rested several key players, naming Jasprit Bumrah their skipper for the tour. On the contrary, Ireland have picked a formidable squad, an amalgamation of experience and youth, led by experienced batter Andrew Balbirnie. 

So, as The Village in Malahide gears up to host the fascinating battle, let's see how the venue's surface will behave during the encounter. 


Malahide Dublin Pitch Report

Although it’s an afternoon game, the pacers might get some new-ball swing, considering the cloud cover at the venue. If it rains, some moisture might sip in and assist the fast bowlers. But if it doesn’t, then there will be minimal seam movement, with the batters enjoying their time in the middle. 

Historically, Malahide cricket club ground has been a happy hunting venue for the batters. So, if rain doesn’t play spoilsport, we could witness a high-scoring affair between two formidable units. 

Considering the chasing teams have won a majority of the matches here, the toss-winning side will likely opt to field first.
