LSG vs DC: Ekana Stadium Pitch Report
The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is traditionally bowler-friendly, often assisting spinners as the game progresses. Initially, pacers get some swing and bounce, but the surface slows down, favoring spin. The average first-innings T20 score is around 160, and teams batting first have a slight edge. Last time, the pitch played two-paced, making stroke-making difficult. However, this time a high-scoring track is expected, with batters likely to enjoy better conditions. Dew could play a key role in evening matches, aiding the chasing side. Hence, the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first, hoping to capitalize under lights.
