Here’s the pitch report of the The Oval:
The weather in south London is expected to be in low 30s on Tuesday, July 12. Although there may be periods of dense cloud cover over the city, there is no chance of rain falling during the game, and a full-fledged 50-over encounter is expected.
The Kennington Oval field is typically flat, and games there frequently end in high-scoring thrillers. At this location, the spinners may just have to play a bigger role because the ground may deteriorate as the game goes on. While pacers might gain some initial traction from the pitch, batsmen can trust the bounce and play their shots.
