Castle Avenue Pitch Report

The pitch at Castle Avenue in Dublin is known for offering a fair contest between bat and ball. Early in the match, seam bowlers are likely to get some assistance from the surface due to residual moisture and Ireland’s typically cool conditions, creating opportunities for swing and movement off the pitch. However, as the game progresses, the pitch generally tends to settle, allowing batters to play their shots more freely. Spinners might find some grip later in the innings, especially if the sun is out and the surface dries up. Overall, teams will look to assess conditions quickly, with captains likely considering fielding first if overhead skies are cloudy, aiming to exploit any early movement for their bowlers.
