T20WC 2024: Kensington Oval Pitch Report Ahead of USA vs ENG
The coming game between the United States and England is a morning game. And as seen in morning matches, the pitch tends to behave a bit slowly. The ball doesn’t come nicely to the bat, and you can play shots freely. The team that wins the toss has won 65 percent of matches at this venue. The conditions will get even slower in the second inning. So batting first is the right decision at this venue.
United States vs England X-Factor
United States X-Factor
For the United States, there will be a few key players. With the ball, a lot will depend on how Saurabh Netravalkar bowls. The left-arm pacer will get a good amount of help from the pitch, and he bowls good slower ones, which will stick to the surface and create doubt in the batter’s mind. With the bat, Andries Gous will be the key player. He is the second-highest scorer in the tournament and has scored 211 runs at an average and strike rate of 52.75 and 150.71, respectively. He is a good player of pace and spin and will be effective here.
England X-Factor
Phil Salt is someone who can take the pitch out of the equation. He is a very dangerous batter and likes to take the game along at a good rate. The English opener missed out in the last game and will be making sure that he takes his team to victory. Jofra Archer has been in good form since he returned from injury. He is bowling in the right areas with good speed. He has taken nine wickets at an economy rate of 7.29 and will be looking to bowl a good spell.
