Kensington Oval Pitch Report – BR vs GAW
The surface at the Kensington Oval has traditionally been balanced but slightly bowler-friendly. While batters enjoy pace and bounce early on, bowlers who stick to discipline often find success.
-
Batting Conditions: Scoring is not always easy; partnerships are key. A total of 170+ runs is usually competitive.
-
Pace Bowling: New ball pacers get swing and seam movement in the first few overs. Slower balls are effective in the death overs.
-
Spin Bowling: Spinners come into play in the middle overs as the pitch grips slightly. Someone like Imran Tahir will relish these conditions.
