Australia vs England, the 17th match of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled to be played at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados pitch on 8th June 2024.

Australia barely scraped a win against Oman, while England could have lost against Scotland if the game was not interrupted due to rain.
AUS vs ENG: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados Pitch Report
Kensington Oval is renowned for its pace and seam, ranking among the fastest tracks in the West Indies. Fast bowlers typically benefit from early assistance with the new ball, with significant seam movement expected. However, during the T20 World Cup 2024 matches, the pitch has been slowing down as the game progresses, making it difficult for batters to score freely as the ball does not come onto the bat easily.
Teams with strong bowling units will likely prefer their captains to win the toss and choose to bowl first, taking advantage of the overcast conditions that are expected to assist pacers with significant movement both off the pitch and through the air.
