(Last 10 match)

The surface at Pembroke Cricket Club has historically supported both batters and bowlers. Initially, seamers can get movement off the deck, especially under overcast conditions. Batters who play technically sound cricket are likely to benefit once the ball softens and the pitch settles down. Spinners may find grip during the middle overs, especially in the second innings if the pitch dries out. With its modest boundaries, stroke-making becomes easier as the match progresses. A score around 140–150 is competitive in women's T20s here. Winning the toss could be a deciding factor, with teams likely to opt for bowling first to utilize early moisture.
