The Oval pitch is often considered favorable for batting in limited-overs cricket. Fast bowlers may find some movement with the new ball early on, but the surface usually eases out, giving batters the freedom to score runs comfortably. The venue has witnessed several successful chases in the past, making bowling first a likely option for captains winning the toss, with the advantage of pursuing targets under lights.
