Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report and Weather Forecast

The surface at Ekana Cricket Stadium has proven to be balanced, offering assistance to both batters and bowlers in the ongoing IPL season.

During the powerplay, the ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing stroke play, but batters still need some time to get their eye in before going on the attack. Spinners are expected to get some grip and turn during the middle overs. 

The captain winning the toss might prefer to field first, especially with dew likely to influence conditions in the latter stages of the match.

The temperature in Lucknow is expected to be around 33°C at 7 PM when the match begins, gradually dropping to 29°C by the end. The weather in Lucknow remains clear, with no chances of rain.

Head-to-head:

DC and LSG have faced each other in 6 matches in the IPL. Out of these 6 games, DC have won 3 whereas LSG have come out victorious on 3 occasions.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals (DC) are in 2nd place with 10 points from 7 matches. However, they are coming off a tough loss to Gujarat Titans, where they failed to defend a big total of 204. Their batting unit, featuring Abhishek Porel and Karun Nair at the top, has found balance recently.

Players like KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs, and Ashutosh Sharma have also contributed well to the team’s scoring. DC’s bowling, led by Mitchell Starc and Axar Patel, has shown its strength, especially in the match against Rajasthan Royals where Starc successfully defended 9 runs in the final over and led DC to a win in the following Super Over.

All eyes will be on today’s clash – can LSG secure a crucial win to boost their chances of finishing in the top two, or will KL Rahul lead Delhi Capitals to an away victory against his former team?

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are currently placed 5th on the points table with 10 points, having won 5 out of their 8 matches so far. In their last game, they pulled off a thrilling win against Rajasthan Royals, where Avesh Khan defended 9 runs in the final over.

LSG’s overseas batting stars – Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, and David Miller – have been consistently scoring runs and helping the team post competitive totals. On the bowling front, Indian pacers like Avesh Khan and Digvesh Rathi have delivered at key moments.
