LSG vs PBKS Weather Report Live Today And Pitch Report Of Ekana Stadium, Lucknow– IPL 2024, Match 11

Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is all set to host the LSG vs PBKS IPL 2024 match on Saturday, March 30. The match starts at 7.30 pm IST. This is the very first game of the season for Lucknow Super Giants at home. LSG won just three games at home last year and lost three.

Their batters have problems playing in what was almost a rank turner at the Ekana Stadium. They were much more comfortable playing away from home and winning matches. 

The biggest observation this year for the Super Giants will be what kind of pitches are prepared for the home team and whether it suits their overseas players. KL Rahul and the management will have to have a pro[per plan regarding the kind of pitches prepared. LSG are currently at the bottom of the points table having lost their season opener against Rajasthan Royals. 

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, started their campaign with a win against Delhi Capitals and lost their next against RCB. They chased down 176 required to win against Delhi and failed to defend 177 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Jonny Bairstow has failed to give the team good starts in the first two games and his form has been a concern for the franchise.. He could not execute his death-over skills in the final overs.

LSG and PBKS have played three games against each other with the Super Giants winning two games and the Kings one. Both teams won one game against each other last year at the home ground of the opponent teams. LSG won in Mohali while Kings won in Lucknow.
