Ekana Pitch report Ahead of LSG vs RR
The surface is undeniably favorable for bowlers. Before the IPL, Ekana had a reputation for providing slow surfaces. However, in IPL 2024 matches, we saw a subtle change in the behavior of the pitch, as it now favors pacers as well. In the initial stages of the game, pacers are seen ruling the match with their swinging deliveries. Eventually, as the ball starts to lose its shine, spinners take on the role of heroes and capitalize more on this surface. Looking at the surface, pacers who are well off with their slow cutters are going to benefit a lot.
Looking at the ground statistics, in a total of 11 IPL matches played to date, the average first-innings score is 159, giving a clear indication that making runs is not going to be easy. Due to the sluggishness of the pitch, conditions will continue to be advantageous for bowlers even in the second innings.
