LSG vs DC: Pitch Report & Weather Conditions
The Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow has garnered a reputation as a venue that generally offers a balanced playing surface.
Historically, the pitch has been known to favour spin bowlers, with the dry conditions often assisting in generating turn as the match progresses.
However, fast bowlers have also found purchase on this wicket, particularly in the early stages of an innings, where they can extract bounce and movement from the surface.
Examining the recent matches played at this venue in the ongoing IPL 2025 season reveals an interesting trend. While the traditional characteristics of the pitch remain, there are indications of a gradual shift towards a more batting-friendly nature.
The highest team total recorded at the Ekana Stadium is an imposing 235/6, underscoring the potential for high-scoring encounters.
Conversely, the highest successful run chase stands at 177/2. There have been instances of teams breaching the 200-run mark, with such totals being achieved twice in the 11 IPL matches mentioned earlier.
