In the upcoming Match No.54 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are set to welcome Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday evening. 

Lucknow Super Giants‘ recent victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) saw them clinch a win by 4 wickets, positioning them at third place in the points table with 12 points. 

Conversely, Kolkata Knight Riders secured a victory in their last match by 24 runs, placing them second with 14 points.

 This upcoming match holds significant importance for both teams as they vie for a playoff spot. In their previous encounter last month at Eden Gardens, KKR emerged triumphant with an eight-wicket win.

With this much-anticipated match on the horizon, let’s take a look at how the pitch at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium is expected to behave throughout the game.

LSG vs KKR: BRSABV Ekana Stadium Pitch Report

Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium stands out as perhaps the only venue in this IPL season that has been somewhat kind to the bowlers. While other grounds have witnessed teams scoring 200+ runs effortlessly, here, the bowlers have managed to trouble the batters. However, the batters still hold a slight advantage, as does the chasing side.

The team batting first at this venue enjoys an additional advantage. The pitch at Ekana Stadium features a red-soil track that offers minimal seam movement for pacers during the powerplay. Throughout the game, spinners find some assistance from the pitch.

The new ball makes batting easier on this ground. Therefore the team winning the toss will look forward to bat first.
