The Oval Pitch Report:
The Oval typically offers a favourable batting surface in shorter formats, making it ideal for shot-making as the game progresses. Although fast bowlers may find some early movement with the new ball, conditions generally become batter-friendly, and a first-innings average score of about 160 in The Hundred reflects the opportunity to post substantial totals. However, the venue has also witnessed plenty of successful chases, so teams winning the toss are expected to opt for bowling first to exploit early conditions and pursue the target under lights.
