LSG vs RCB Ekana Stadium Pitch Report:
The nature of the pitch at the Ekana Stadium has been hard to predict as it depends a lot on the colour of the soil used to prepare the surface.
A black soil wicket is expected to be on the slower side and is known to assist the spinners, with batters having to adjust to the lack of bounce that the wicket offers.
There have been certain occasions where the batters have found it difficult to cope with the pace and bounce of the wicket in the handful of games played at this venue.
A red soil wicket is completely opposite in nature as it makes life easier for the batters as they can trust the bounce of the surface and can use the long square boundaries to rotate strike.
The nature of the wickets depends a lot on dew. If the game is affected by dew, then it is difficult for the bowlers to extract any kind of help that the wicket might have provided in normal circumstances.
If we talk about the surface used for the last match played at this venue between LSG and DC, it was a good batting wicket, irrespective of an under-par batting performance by Lucknow's batters.
It would be interesting to see how the wicket behaves in the upcoming clash between LSG and RCB on Friday.
A total of 19 IPL games have been played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, which is the home ground of LSG and has witnessed several memorable matches.
Out of the 19 games, the team batting first has won 8 matches, while the chasing team has won 10 matches.
The highest successful chase at this ground is 199/3 by the Rajasthan Royals against the Lucknow Super Giants in 2024.
Both teams will look to register a win in the upcoming game, where they will take on each other at the home ground of the Lucknow Super Giants.
The upcoming LSG vs RCB game is important, especially for LSG, with regard to the points table, as the team is in desperate need of a win.
LSG has to win all the remaining games for the Rishabh Pant-led side to have a shot at a spot in the playoffs.
Conclusion
LSG would want to get back to winning ways, having lost three games on the trot, and register a much-needed win over RCB
RCB, on the other hand, would like to replicate the performance that they delivered in all three departments of the game against CSK and clinch an important win over LSG.
