IPL 2024 – Match 26: LKN vs DC Pitch Report of BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium with Stats and Records
BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow favours team batting first
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will go head-to-head against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 26th match of IPL 2024 at their home ground BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, on Friday, April 12.
The Lucknow Super Giants have been successful in their last two home games. They have effectively defended totals of over 160 runs in their last 13 matches. Going into this game, the team may be without Mayank Yadav, who is sidelined due to abdominal soreness.
The Delhi Capitals are entering this match following two consecutive defeats. Their bowlers have struggled recently, allowing substantial totals in their last two games, including 272 against KKR and 234 against the Mumbai Indians.
LSG vs DC: BRSABV Ekana Stadium Pitch Report
The wicket in Lucknow tends to play inconsistently, making it challenging for all but the most in-form batters to confidently play their shots.
A competitive total will likely be around 165 runs, and bowlers who utilize pace variations and spin are expected to perform well. While seam bowlers can benefit from the red-soil pitches, the black-soil pitches favour spinners and make scoring runs more difficult.
If the team batting first wins this match, it will mark five consecutive victories for teams batting first at this venue in the IPL.
Given this trend, it would be surprising if either captain did not choose to bat first before this match.
