LSG vs CSK, Ekana Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium has been quite different in the last couple of IPL seasons, as the strip was on the slower side during the first game played at this ground in 2023, whereas it was a batting-friendly wicket as far as the last IPL season is concerned.
Ekana Cricket Stadium has hosted 16 IPL matches so far, and the team batting first at this ground has won 8 matches, whereas teams have been successful in chasing a target in 7 games, with one match getting washed out.
If we talk about the behavior of the pitch used for the three matches played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in the current season, two of which were night games, the surface slowed down during the game in the second match, whereas the conditions were different in the first game.
The story was no different in the only day game played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, played between LSG and GT, with GT finding it difficult to score runs once the ball got soft. The nature of the wicket indicates that the team that wins the toss will look to bat first.
The highest total at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in IPL is scored by KKR against the home team, which happens to be 235/6, whereas the highest successful run chase at this venue is 199/3 by RR against LSG as well during IPL 2024.
Conclusion
The Lucknow vs Chennai game provides a chance for LSG to consolidate their position in the top four in the points table by replicating a strong team effort at their home ground and by keeping up the good work they have done so far in the ongoing tournament. Lucknow would also hope for captain Rishabh Pant to get a big score against CSK.
CSK, on the other hand, would like to break the string of losses that the team has tasted in IPL 2025, having lost five of the six matches in the season so far. The former champions would like their batters to play with a bit more responsibility.
