Pembroke Cricket Club Pitch Report:
The pitch at Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin typically offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early in the match, seamers can expect some assistance with movement off the surface due to Ireland’s cool, often humid conditions. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to settle, making batting easier, especially in the second innings. Spinners might get some purchase later in the game, but batters who spend time at the crease should be rewarded with good value for their shots. Expect a surface that encourages competitive totals, with bowlers needing to stay disciplined to extract the best from the conditions.
