The Oval has witnessed some remarkable cricketing feats, with England's successful chase of 263 against Australia in 1902 being the highest target ever achieved at the venue. However, in recent times, only one target of over 140 has been successfully chased since 2010. It is worth noting that India's highest score at The Oval was 173, which they achieved in 1971 against England.
