Pitch report
The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium traditionally supports slower bowlers. Early in the innings, the ball comes onto the bat nicely. However, as the ball gets older and softer, scoring becomes difficult due to the large boundaries.
Weather report
According to Accuweather, the temperature in Lucknow on Tuesday is expected to reach a high of 41 degrees Celsius during the day. By evening, when the match begins, the temperature is likely to drop to around 28 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for playing conditions.
