スタジアムスタジアムのレポートとLSGとPBK MBK MBK 2025マッチに先立って統計

After defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad, and that too in Hyderabad, LSG are currently on a high and are now set to host quality team Punjab Kings, who made a stellar start to IPL 2025 by crushing Gujarat Titans, are one of them. Captain Shreyas Iyer’s bat sparkled in Ahmedabad, while Shashank Singh and Priyansh Arya stole the show with explosive innings. On the other hand, as mentioned, after defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow’s confidence will be sky-high. Nicholas Pooran smashed 70 runs off 26 balls against SRH, while Mitchell Marsh’s bat has been firing in both matches.

Shardul Thakur has been doing his job with the ball, but now the match is set to be at Ekana Stadium, which is the home ground for LSG. What can we expect from the surface? Will the bowlers shine, or will the batters take charge? Take a look at the Ekana pitch report ahead of PBKS vs LSG.

Ekana Stadium pitch report

The turning track at this ground has been a usual feature, which is why spinners have been particularly effective. The ball tends to grip and come off slowly, making it challenging for batters. No team has managed to reach the 200-run mark at this venue during IPL 2024. So far, 14 IPL matches have been played at Ekana Stadium. Out of these, the team batting first has won 7 matches, while the chasing team has secured victory in 6 games. One match, however, ended without a result.

The best strategy is to bat first, set an imposing total, and then aim to restrict the opposition. Although the records for batting first and second are quite similar, the pitch will likely improve for spinners as the game progresses. Therefore, there is no harm in choosing to bat first
