Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium is located in Lucknow. It was officially inaugurated in 2017 and has served as the home ground for the Lucknow Super Giants since the IPL 2023 season. 

The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium generally favors bowlers, as the wickets tend to be slow. However, in some matches, batters have played attacking cricket against the bowlers. This indicates that the pitch can also be good for batsmen. 

While the pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium is generally spin-friendly, fast bowlers can also find some assistance. In the first match of the IPL 2023 season at the venue against DC, Mark Wood took five wickets. The behavior of the pitch is also affected by weather conditions.

Seven IPL matches are scheduled to be held in Lucknow this season, with five already played at this stadium. The team batting second has won twice, while the team batting first has won on three occasions.

The average first innings score at this stadium is 150 runs. However, in their first home game, the Lucknow Super Giants smashed a massive 193 runs while batting first, which is also the highest IPL total at this venue. Conversely, the lowest total scored here is 121 runs, which was scored by SRH.

Considering the stadium’s history and characteristics, the team that wins the toss is likely to opt to bowl first. Nevertheless, a thrilling match is anticipated due to the strong line-up of both teams.
