IPL 2025: Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of LSG vs CSK Match

Prepend to the Content

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will host the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 30 of the IPL 2025 on April 14 at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium. The game kicks off at 7:30 PM IST, under lights at a venue known for variable surfaces—and this time, it’s pitch No. 5 that’s in focus.

This match will be played on a mixed soil pitch, following earlier fixtures on both red and black soil strips. A mixed soil surface typically offers a blend of bounce from the red soil and the slower nature of black soil, making it a tricky wicket for batters to fully dominate on unless they settle in.

Statistically, the pitch has been balanced. Out of 17 matches played here. This means there’s no clear toss advantage historically, but teams might lean toward fielding first, especially with dew potentially playing a part in the second innings.

The square boundaries are evenly sized, so teams won’t have a particular short side to target. Expect spinners and change-of-pace bowlers to play a key role, especially as the ball gets older. Batters will need to work hard for their runs on this hybrid pitch, particularly during the middle overs.

All eyes will be on how both teams adapt to the conditions—LSG will look to leverage their local experience, while CSK’s experienced spinners could make the difference.
