UP T20 2024: LCK vs KAN
Date and Time: September 12: 7:30 pm IST/2:00 pm GMT
Venue: Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium, Lucknow
Ekana Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium tells a story crafted for bowlers, unfolding in two distinct phases. Early on, fast bowlers dominate, capitalizing on the swing offered by the new ball, especially in evening games under floodlights. As the innings advances and the ball softens, spinners come into play, benefiting from the conditions that progressively favor their approach. For batters, building a substantial total becomes difficult, with the surface encouraging a more restrained and tactical scoring strategy.
