Weather Conditions
The Ekana pitch in Lucknow promises a true surface that gets increasingly sluggish as night falls. Early overs will see swing under the stadium lights, with spinners gaining serious bite from the rough-textured ground. The stadium’s top-notch drainage eliminates most dew concerns. Batters who read the pitch’s changing rhythm will find success, while bowlers wielding cutters and slower deliveries become lethal post-9 PM.
Weather-wise, Lucknow looks set for a clear, comfortable evening with zero rain threats to interrupt play.
