The pitch at Kensington Oval is known to be balanced, favouring both batsmen and bowlers. It offers good bounce and carry early on, which helps fast bowlers.
However, as the game progresses, spinners might come into play due to the pitch slowing down. Batsmen who can handle the initial overs and capitalize on the changing conditions later will likely find success here.
