IPL 2024, Match 44, LSG vs RR: Ekana Stadium Pitch Report
At the Ekana Cricket Stadium, the pitch changes as the game goes on. At first, fast bowlers do well, using the new ball and evening matches’ lights to swing it. But later, as the ball gets older, spin bowlers do better. This means batsmen will find it hard to score lots of runs. The pitch makes it likely that the game will have lower scores.
