IPL 2025: Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of LSG vs DC Match
Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report ahead of Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals, 40th Match of IPL 2025
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 40 of IPL 2025 at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on April 22. With both teams eyeing a crucial win as the league enters its mid-phase, this evening fixture under the lights promises to be a closely contested affair.
The pitch at the Ekana Stadium has offered mixed conditions this season. While a 200-plus total has been posted and successfully defended once, three of the other four games have favored chasing teams, including a successful pursuit of 181. The average first innings score at this venue stands at 168, but given the recent trend, any team batting first will likely aim for a total closer to 190 or more to feel secure.
Though known to assist slower bowlers and change-of-pace seamers, the Lucknow surface has been reasonably fair to both batters and bowlers, depending on conditions on the day. Dew could play a role in the second innings, further tilting the balance towards teams chasing.
With Lucknow Super Giants having more familiarity with the pitch and crowd support at home, they might hold a slight edge. However, Delhi Capitals’ adaptable lineup and recent chasing success at this venue suggest this one could go either way, especially if the toss favors them.
