Pitch Report

The pitch at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow tends to be slow and challenging for batters, with spinners playing a key role as the game progresses. The average first-innings score of 122 runs indicates that setting up a big total is difficult, requiring patience and calculated shot-making. Pacers may find some movement early on, but the sluggish nature of the surface favors slower bowlers. Teams winning the toss generally opt to bowl first, as chasing under lights can be slightly easier once the pitch settles down.
