India vs South Africa pitch report of Kensington Oval, Barbados.

The pitch report suggests it offers a balanced surface for both batters and bowlers in T20 cricket. The venue has hosted eight matches of this World Cup, including India’s 47-run win over Afghanistan while defending 181 runs in the Super 8 game. On this pitch, however, it is noted that bowlers have been more dominant in the first innings in the last two games, while batters enjoyed free-scoring in the second innings. Teams that batted first have won only 16 of 50 T20I matches played on this ground. Hence, a toss will also be crucial in the upcoming final. A weather forecast suggests a 50 per cent chance of rain during the play, which will help the team batting second.
