IPL 2024, LSG vs MI: Ekana Stadium Pitch Report
Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is known for its pitch, which offers assistance to the spinners. However, in the previous match at the stadium between LSG and RR, the pitch appeared to be completed flat as RR chased more than 190 runs with ease. The stadium is definitely a fielding first ground after winning the toss. The dew settles in during the second innings of the match, which gives an advantage to the team which chases. The team which bats first should look to go beyond 200 runs to stand a chance of winning the game. There won’t be much help for the pacers at the venue. However, the slower bouncer and cutters are expected to trouble the batters a bit during the death overs.
