Pitch Report
The majority of T20 matches played on the wicket at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow have been won by the team that batted first. The same thing happened in the first game of the IPL 2023 season. At Lucknow Cricket Stadium, speed-friendly black soil pitches are utilized.
Nonetheless, if batters hold their ground, runs can come quickly. In Lucknow, spinners contribute during center overs too. The LSG vs. DC match featured a fair amount of spin. The Ekana Cricket Arena utilizes dark soil pitches, which are viewed as speed agreeable and subsequently beneficial for quick bowlers. Ravi Bishnoi’s two crucial wickets of Powell and Rossouw in LSG’s opening match against the Delhi Capitals demonstrate that spinners are also expected to contribute in the middle overs. The batters are having a great time, especially in the first half, and it is anticipated that the pitch will remain balanced throughout the match.

Lucknow has a hot and dry climate. During the 2023 IPL season, the daytime high in Lucknow will be between 33 and 40 degrees Celsius, while the nighttime low will be between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.
