UP T20 2024: MER vs LCK

Date and Time: September 8: 7:30 pm IST/02:00 pm GMT
Venue: Ekana Stadium, Lucknow

Ekana Stadium Pitch Report:

The Ekana Cricket Stadium pitch is bowler-friendly, offering different challenges at different stages of the match. Early on, fast bowlers can exploit the swing of the new ball, especially under floodlights. However, as the match wears on and the ball loses its shine, spinners find conditions more conducive to their craft. Batters may struggle to score freely, as the pitch encourages a defensive approach.
