The IPL 2024 is up and running in style, and the stage is set now for the 11th match of the season, where the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will go up against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). The match will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium, also known as the Ekana Cricket Stadium, in Lucknow. Lucknow Super Giants opened the campaign against Rajasthan Royals, where they registered a 20-run defeat against the IPL 2008 winners. They will be hoping to win their first match of this season on their home ground.
Punjab Kings began their IPL 2024 journey against the Delhi Capitals on a victorious note but lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the next game.
Both sides will aim to change their course and clinch a win in the upcoming game. Let's look at some of the important stats of Ekana Cricket Stadium over the years in the IPL.
Ground Stats Of Ekana Cricket Stadium In IPL
The Ekana Cricket Stadium, established in 2017, is a 50,000-capacity state-of-the-art facility and one of India's largest cricket grounds. In 2023, this ground hosted its first IPL match.
The venue is set to host its first game of the season. The surface in Lucknow is likely to be sluggish again. There have not been many international games played here as well since last IPL.
In the IPL, only seven matches have been played at Lucknow, and five of them have been won by the team batting first, while one of them has been won by the chasing team, and one match ended with no result. It clearly shows that chasing has not benefitted at this stadium.
