UP T20 League 2024: GOR vs NOI

Date and Time: August 26: 9:30 am GMT/3:00 pm IST
Venue: Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow

Ekana Stadium Pitch Report:

The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium presents a unique challenge for batsmen and bowlers alike. In the early stages of a match, pace bowlers can exploit the new ball’s swing. However, as the game progresses and the pitch wears, spinners gain a significant advantage. Batters will find it increasingly difficult to score runs as the pitch becomes more conducive to spin bowling.
