Ekana Stadium Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The pitch at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow has mostly been good for batting since the last IPL season. However, the track offered a hint of seam movement and spongy bounce to the fast bowlers with the new ball in the last game. So, the batters must choose their shots wisely, especially in the first few overs. 

They should also get on top of the bounce while playing their shots at this venue. The spinners might get some turn; but overall, the conditions are expected to be decent for batting. Unlike its initial impression, the pitch at Ekana Stadium hasn’t been on the slower side since the previous IPL season. 

Considering the chasing sides have won five out of the last eight IPL matches here, the toss-winner might opt to field first.
