T20 Blast 2024: SUR vs DUR
Date and Time: September 3: 5:00 pm GMT/6:00 pm Local/10:30 pm IST
Venue: Kennington Oval, London
Kennington Oval Pitch Report:
The Kennington Oval pitch is a paradise for batters, offering a flat surface that promotes easy stroke play. Pacers may find it difficult to generate much seam movement and will have to depend on variations to make an impact. While batters are expected to dominate, bowlers with expertise in death overs will play a crucial role in managing the run rate. Spinners could find some turn later, but overall, the pitch will present a challenge for them. Given these conditions, the toss-winning captain might prefer to bowl first.
