The match between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals is scheduled to be played today in Lucknow. Both teams will be aiming to reach 12 points, making this encounter quite exciting. However, Lucknow has lost three out of four matches at their home ground this season, so they’ll be under more pressure. In this context, let’s understand how the pitch is expected to behave. Will it favour the batters or will the bowlers dominate? The answer lies in this report.

From a bowling perspective, around 61% of the wickets have gone to pacers, while spinners have taken more than 39% of the wickets. This suggests that both pacers and spinners can be effective on this pitch. However, the nature of the pitch seems to be slightly different this year. Last year, even scores of 150 were successfully defended here, but now totals over 180 are being chased down. That said, only one high-scoring game has been seen at this venue so far this season, where Mumbai almost chased down a target of 204, finishing at 191.
