Ekana Stadium Pitch Report
It is highly probable that the red-hot leather ball will start spinning from the beginning of the match, just like in the previous matches held in Lucknow. The pitch at the Ekana Stadium has a history of not being favourable for batters, with the average first-innings total being 145.
Therefore, the opening batsmen from both teams need to make the most of the power play while the ball is still new. Upon winning the toss, it is suggested that the team chooses to bat first as the pitch is expected to deteriorate and become even more challenging to bat on once the ball gets old.
However, it has been seen that the pacers have also been equally effective on this pitch. Therefore, the bowlers who bowl stump to stump line will be more handy.
