On Sunday, September 8, the Kashi Rudras will face off against the Noida Super Kings in Match 28 of the Uttar Pradesh (UP) T20 League 2024, with the game set to take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Kashi Rudras’ playoff push
Defending champions Rudras are in a pivotal moment as they look to solidify their place in the playoffs. Currently positioned 4th in the standings with 8 points from 9 matches, the Rudras are on the brink of either advancing to the playoffs or facing elimination. A victory in this match is essential for them to secure their spot in the next stage of the competition.
Noida Super Kings’ struggles
The Super Kings have had a challenging season thus far, struggling to find their form. With only 4 points from 8 matches, their performance has been disappointing compared to their playoff qualification last year. Most of their key players have underperformed, contributing to their lackluster campaign in 2024. The Super Kings will be aiming to turn their fortunes around with a strong showing in this match.

Date and Time: September 8: 3:00 pm IST/09:30 am GMT

Ekana Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium presents a narrative tailored for bowlers, evolving through two distinct stages. Initially, pace bowlers thrive, leveraging the swing of the new ball, particularly in evening matches under the lights. As the game progresses and the ball loses its hardness, spinners take advantage of the changing conditions, which increasingly support their style of play. For batters, accumulating runs proves challenging, as the pitch tends to steer the game towards a more cautious scoring approach.
