The 2023 World Cup is set to make its way to the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow for match number 10 of the tournament.

The BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium, formerly known as the Ekana International Cricket Stadium, opened up in 2017 and has previously served as a home base for Afghanistan, one of the 10 participating nations in the ongoing 2023 World Cup.
