Ekana Stadium in Lucknow pitch report:
The surface at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is one that is quite slow; spinners benefit quite a lot from this surface, and the batters will look to stay patient in the early stages of the game. Opting to bat first and posting a big total on the board could be a wise decision.ย
