AUS vs WI Kensington Oval Pitch Report:
The surface at the Kensington Oval has been good for batting traditionally, with teams opting to bowl first after winning the toss because the pitch keeps getting better as the match progresses.
The average second innings total of 337 reiterates the above-mentioned fact. We can anticipate a high-scoring match if the pitch, which is expected to be good for batting, plays true to its nature.
A first-innings lead will play a vital role in this match as it may dictate in which direction the game is heading because the wicket is not expected to change much over the five days.
The highest total at this venue is 749 runs, and the highest successful chase is 311 runs, which will make things interesting in the upcoming match.
Both teams are going through a transition in the longest format of the game, with Australia missing two of their most important batters in the batting department.
Having said that, although the West Indies are playing at their home, Australia will start the match as favorites because of the recent form of both teams.
West Indies, on the other hand, have a new captain at the helm in the form of Roston Chase, who hasn't played a Test match since March 2023.
The venue has hosted 55 matches in Test cricket, and the record is slightly tilted towards the chasing team.
Out of the 55 Test matches played at this ground, 17 have been won by the team batting first, while 20 games have been won by the chasing team.
All things that the team that bats first will have to bat well and score at least 400-420 runs to stay in the contest.
It would be interesting to see how the pitch plays as the wickets in the West Indies have been on the drier side in the last few years.
Conclusion
Australia would like to win the first Test and take an early lead in the three-match series against the home team.
West Indies, on the other hand, will hope to replicate the performance they delivered in the last game they played against Australia in the longest format in 2024.
