Ireland will host the West Indies in the opening edition of the three-match ODI series today at the Village in Dublin as international cricket has returned amid IPL 2025. On this tour, the two teams will also play three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) beginning on June 12. Let's examine the pitch report in the interim:
Dublin: Today marks the start of Ireland's three-match ODI series against the West Indies. Despite the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season and the global resumption of international cricket, both teams are playing ODI cricket after a specified break. The availability of players in the lucrative league is unaffected by this series, though.
With nearly a full-strength squad at his disposal, Shai Hope will continue to captain the West Indies. In the run-up to the 2027 World Cup, the Caribbean team would be eager to assemble a formidable lineup after playing some respectable ODI cricket recently.
Ireland will be led by veteran cricketer Paul Stirling, who will need to ensure that the team takes full advantage of the chance. With the emphasis on players like Curtis Campher and Harry Tector, among many others in the lineup, the team has a good mix of youth and experience.
Pitch report for The Village, Dublin
The majority of Ireland's international cricket matches take place in Dublin, which has a good batting surface. Due to the 10:45 AM start time and the fact that the season is just getting started, there may be wetness on the surface. For this reason, the team who wins the toss may choose to bowl first. The venue's average first innings score is 247, although Sri Lanka's highest total against the home team was 377.
