Pitch Report:
The surface at Kensington Oval assists the batters. The spinners are likely to play a crucial role in the middle overs, but overall, the batters are expected to dominate. The pitch has seen a preference for high scores, and it will possibly keep behaving the same way. A total on the higher side can be expected as the surface won't throw too many challenges for the batters. Bowling first will be ideal after winning the toss at this track.
