Malahide Pitch Report – IRE vs ENG 3rd T20I
The pitch at Malahide is traditionally batsman-friendly, with consistent bounce and short boundaries that encourage stroke play. The first match saw 197 runs, which shows how good this surface is for batsmen.
However, overhead conditions and some moisture could give fast bowlers movement early on. Spinners need to bowl tight lines, as the surface usually offers little turn.
