The highly anticipated rivalry between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is reignited. Do you recall the match when LSG faced trouble, and rain abruptly halted the game at Ekana Cricket Stadium Lucknow?
This ground traditionally featured a slow pitch with a fast outfield. However, this year, the curator altered the pitch nature, leading to a high-scoring match in the inaugural game.
In a recent match against Delhi Capitals (DC), LSG posted a modest total of 167. Despite being a strong defending team, LSG's bowlers found it challenging to contain DC's chase due to the dew factor and exceptional bowling in the first innings.
LSG's bowlers, typically strong, faced a rare setback, unable to defend the 167-run target on the sluggish pitch against DC.
LSG vs CSK Pitch Report:
- Temperature: The temperature at Lucknow today is 41 degrees just one degree higher than the previous match and the dew will play a role in the second inning.
- Pitch Type: The new pitch here supports batters well but due to the early swing at night openers need to take time to hit the ball.
- Toss Effect: This is a bat-first for LSG but I will say Dew will come later so Batting will be easy in the second inning.
- Avg 1st inning Score: The Average first inning score for the last matches is 175.
