LSG vs CSK Pitch Report – Ekana Stadium
This will be the 4th match of the season at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. LSG earlier played against Punjab Kings on a red soil pitch, while the next two games against Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans were played on black soil surfaces.
Today’s LSG vs CSK match is scheduled to be played on Pitch No. 5, which is made of mixed soil. This kind of surface tends to be more balanced, offering assistance to both batters and bowlers, making the contest highly competitive.
Out of the 3 matches played here this season, 2 were won by teams chasing. So, the captain winning the toss is likely to bowl first. Additionally, dew could play a role in the second innings, which might further help the chasing side.
