LSG vs GT, Weather report of Lucknow:

LSG vs GT, Ekana Stadium Pitch Report:

The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium has been quite unpredictable in the last couple of IPL seasons, as the surface was on the slower side in 2023, while it assisted the batters during the last season, and has behaved differently in each of the two matches played at this venue in IPL 2025 so far.

Ekana Cricket Stadium has hosted 16 IPL games so far, and the team that has batted first has won 8 matches, whereas the chasing team has won 7 games, with one match getting washed out. The side that wins the toss is likely to bat first in the LSG vs GT game.

If we talk about the behavior of the pitch used for the two matches played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in the current season, the surface slowed down during the game in the last match, whereas the conditions were different in the first game.

The highest total at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in IPL happens to be 235/6 by KKR against LSG in 2024, while the highest successful run chase at this venue is 199/3 by RR against the home team in the same year.

The result of the game will be decided by how the batting lineup of both teams performs and whether the batters can put enough runs on the board and give the bowlers a fair chance to defend the total.

Conclusion

The Lucknow vs Gujarat game will be an opportunity for LSG to move up in the points table by putting on a strong show at their home ground and registering their fourth win of the season. Lucknow would also hope for captain Rishabh Pant to get some runs under his belt.

GT, on the other hand, would like to carry the winning momentum into their next match against LSG and would hope to replicate the performance that the Shubman Gill-led side delivered in the last match.
