On Saturday (April 22), the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 30th game of the IPL 2023 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Last season, both teams made their debuts and fought each other twice. In both of these games, the Titans defeated the Super Giants.

In 2017, the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium was dedicated. Since the IPL 2023 season, Ekana Stadium in Lucknow has served as the home field for the Lucknow Super Giants.
The black dirt grounds at Ekana Cricket Stadium favour pacers, though spinners are likely to contribute throughout the middle overs. In night matches, dew can be a hindrance, making it difficult for bowlers to hold the ball in the second innings.
Lucknow is expected to host seven IPL matches this season, and the venue has previously hosted three Indian Premier League matches. The team that bats second has won twice, whereas the side that bats first has only won once.
At this stadium, the average first-inning score is 158 runs. However, in their debut home game, the Lucknow Super Giants batted first and scored 193 runs, the greatest IPL total at this site. The lowest total here, on the other hand, is 121 runs, which was scored by SRH.
The team that wins the toss will almost certainly choose to bowl first because chasing the target at Ekana Cricket Stadium is very simple. However, due to both clubs’ powerful batting lineups, a high-scoring encounter is expected.
