UP T20 2024: KAS vs MER
Date and Time: August 25: 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 compelling story for bowlers, unfolding in two distinct phases. Early on, pace bowlers dominate, making the most of the new ball’s swing, especially during evening matches under the lights. But as the game wears on and the ball begins to soften, spinners come into their own, capitalizing on conditions that gradually favor their craft. For batters, run-scoring becomes a daunting task, as the pitch subtly guides the contest toward a more restrained scoring pattern.
