pitch Report
This pitch plays very slow. Spinners get more help here. The batsmen are often seen struggling on this pitch. Actually, this ground is quite big and the ball comes directly on the bat. The 200 runs cannot be easily crossed on this ground. In such a situation, there is hardly a big score on Ekana in this IPL. If the fast bowlers did not take wickets in the beginning, then it can be difficult for them to achieve success. However, if the fast bowler mixes in bowling instead of just focusing on speed, then taking wickets here can be beneficial. This pitch helps batsmen a lot at the beginning of the first innings, where it is easier to play heavy shots in the initial over on the pitch.
Head-to-head record
In the IPL, 6 matches have been played between the two teams, out of which Lucknow Supergiants have won 4 matches in 4 matches.
