The Kennington Oval pitch in London is generally balanced but slightly favors batters, especially as the match progresses. Fast bowlers get some swing and bounce early on, making the initial overs challenging, but batting becomes easier later, leading to moderate to high-scoring games (average T20 first innings score: 164). Chasing teams have a slight advantage at this venue, so captains often prefer to bowl first.
This Fantasy XI is formed with a sharp focus on form, career stats, and the unique challenge posed by County Ground, Bristol. Make sure to lock in your teams before 11:05 PM IST and stay tuned for the third blockbuster encounter between two of women’s cricket’s modern heavyweights.
