Kensington Oval Stadium’s Pitch Details
The Kensington Oval Stadium pitch is known for being fast and bouncy. This nature helps batsmen play expansive strokes once they settle in, especially in the first innings. Pacers can exploit early seam movement and bounce, while spinners typically gain more success as the pitch wears out. Batsmen who adjust quickly can score big, but the bounce may trouble them early on.
