PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

London would see cloudy skies and there are chances of rain during the game on August 08. The batting conditions won’t be the easiest here and batters would have to play to the merit of the ball. The side that bats first shall aim to put up 140 runs on the board.

Venue Details

Kennington Oval, London is increasingly turning into a bowler friendly surface when the skies are overcast. The ball swings a lot in the air creating doubts in the minds of the batsmen, but the shorter square boundaries do make it easy to score runs. Spinners have had tough time bowling on this surface.

Toss: To Bowl

It is a difficult wicket to set ab total on as we have seen most sides win games here in the past chasing the scores. Having a victory target in mind allows the sides to pace their innings well and hence the side that wins the toss here should have no hesitation in bowling first.
