Kennington Oval, London Pitch Report
The Oval pitch usually starts flat, making it good for batting early on. But as the match goes on, the surface breaks down. In the last two days, spin bowlers will likely have a bigger impact because of widening cracks and uneven bounce. Fast bowlers might find some help with the new ball, especially through seam movement, but they will need to stay consistent and patient. Overall, it is a batting-friendly pitch, once batters get they can score freely. That being said, the bowlers who stick to their plans and hit the right areas will still find success. Captains often prefer to chase at The Oval pitch, especially since the pitch stays good for batting early.
