(Last 10 match)

The pitch at the Kennington Oval is known to be a batting-friendly surface, offering good bounce and value for shots. The ball comes onto the bat nicely, making stroke play easier once the batters settle in. However, bowlers who hit the right lengths can still extract movement early on, particularly under overcast conditions in London. Spinners may find assistance in the middle overs, with the pitch providing grip as the game progresses. A first-innings total in the range of 280–310 is considered competitive here, and teams winning the toss may prefer to bat first to exploit the surface and apply scoreboard pressure.
