England are all set to meet USA in the 49th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on 23rd June (8:00 pm IST) at Bridgetown.
In the ongoing World Cup, unlike other surfaces, Kensington Oval has been a surface where batters have had the chance to express themselves. Despite losing Steven Taylor early, the USA fared well in the powerplay by putting a score of 48/1 with Andries Gous leading the charge with the bat. Gous and Nitish Kumar forged a promising-looking stand but once it ended, the USA batting order collapsed in front of a clinical bowling unit.
England batters couldn’t produce the big hits while chasing a target of 164 during their last Super 8 match against South Africa, suffering a narrow seven-run loss on Friday.

The pitch at Kensington Oval in Barbados is expected to offer some seam movement to the new ball bowlers at the start of the match. This movement can make it challenging for the batsmen to settle in quickly. Fast bowlers can also expect to benefit from some extra bounce on this surface. The bounce might trouble the batsmen, especially in the initial overs of the game.
Despite the early challenges, the pitch in Barbados generally offers true pace and bounce once the game progresses. Batsmen who adjust to the conditions can play their shots with confidence. Spinners may not find much assistance from the pitch in terms of turn. Instead, they will need to rely on accuracy and variations to outsmart the batsmen.
