Pitch Report

The surface at the Kennington Oval in London has a balanced nature, with quite a bit of edge for the batters, mostly in the first innings of the game. Speaking of the 17 T20Is played here, the team batting first has won on 9 occasions while the team batting second has won 7 matches. So, the captain winning the toss will look ahead to bat first to trouble the opponent with a tough run chase.
