IND vs WI 1st ODI Kensington Oval Barbados Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Kensington Oval in Barbados will initially assist the seamers, with the new-ball bowlers experiencing good seam movement and extra bounce. However, as the game progresses, the track will settle and become more favorable for the batsmen.

As a typical Caribbean pitch, it will maintain a good pace and bounce, making it not a slow or sluggish track. This means that once the batsmen overcome the early challenges posed by the new ball, they can score runs more comfortably. On the other hand, the spinners are unlikely to find excessive grip and turn from this pitch.

Interestingly, teams batting second have had remarkable success at this venue, winning 25 matches, while only 19 victories have gone to the teams batting first. As a result, winning the toss and choosing to bowl first would be a strategic advantage for the team.
