Weather Conditions

The surface at Ekana Cricket Stadium won’t be the kind where batters can go all out from the start, but it should still offer plenty of scoring opportunities. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to lose some pace, making spin a bigger factor in the middle overs. Batting usually gets smoother in the second innings, thanks to the dew that helps the ball come onto the bat better. 

Lucknow’s weather will be warm and humid, but with no rain expected, there shouldn’t be any interruptions to the game.

LSG vs MI Pitch Report

Ekana Cricket Stadium typically sees first innings scores around 166. During last season’s IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders set the highest total at this ground with 235-6 against Lucknow Super Giants, cruising to a 98-run victory. Interestingly, that remained the only 200+ score in 14 innings throughout IPL 2024. Judging by the opening match at Ekana in IPL 2025, teams will want to aim for 190-200 runs to feel comfortable defending their total.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing will be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. This is exactly what happened in the last game played here as Punjab Kings chased down a target of 172 in just 16.2 overs against LSG.
