Early in the powerplay, the fast bowlers at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium will have little seam movement thanks to the red-soil pitch. The batters will probably have fun batting against the hard new ball during their time in the middle. Still, as the ball softens, it will retain some of its bounce, which is when hit-the-deck seamers may come into play.
Throughout the match, the surface will also provide the spinners with a great deal of help. The first-batting teams have won five of the nine games played here, making it a happy hunting ground for them. The toss-winner will therefore probably bat first and score runs based on past performance.
