OVI vs TRT: Pitch Report
The Kennington Oval pitch is one of the better batting surfaces in the country, and batters will be supported by pace and bounce to help score freely. Spinners will find little assistance on the pitch, while moderately fast pitches can have an impact with the new ball. The condition of the pitch likely means that the captain who wins the toss will choose bowling first.
