Pitch Report of IND vs SA T20 World Cup Final Match

The pitch of Kensington Oval provides a balanced surface for both batsmen and bowlers in T20 cricket. A total of eight matches of this World Cup were played on this ground, including India's 47-run victory over Afghanistan while defending 181 runs in the Super 8 game.

However, in the last two matches, the bowlers have dominated in the first innings while the batsmen have scored freely in the second innings. Out of the 50 T20 matches played here, the teams batting second have won only 16 matches, so the toss will be important in the final to be held on Saturday. According to the weather forecast, there is a 50 percent chance of rain during the game, which will definitely prove to be helpful for the teams batting second.
