ENG vs SL 2024 Pitch Report

The fast bowlers can expect much bounce from the Kennington Oval surface, as evidenced by the venue’s rich history. Players will find the first couple of days the easiest to bat on, before pacemen can dictate terms in the backend of the match. Spinners also tend to prove effective at The Oval, especially on fifth days. The average first innings total here has emerged in the range of mid 340s. Considering the overall track record, the captain winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Fantasy value from the pitch report

  • As per the pitch report, it is imperative to pick at least four pacemen, including three front-line fast bowlers. A presence of a quality spinner in the XI will also prove effective for the final outcome.
  • The team’s batting line-up must consist of composed top-order players, who can occupy long hours at the crease.
