(Last 10 match)

The pitch at The Oval has long been known as a batting paradise, especially in T20 matches. The surface is flat with even bounce, offering full value for strokes across the fast outfield. Batters who get set can take the game away quickly, particularly under lights. Bowlers will need to rely on variations and pace changes to stay relevant in the second innings. Spinners might play a holding role in the middle overs, but chasing remains the preferred choice here. Expect a first-innings target in the range of 180–200.
