Pitch Report: Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
The Lucknow pitch generally favours the chasing side, with batters having good success in scoring runs. However, the surface is expected to be on the slower side in both innings, with scores likely to be in the range of 140–160. This should give bowlers a fair amount of assistance in controlling the flow of runs and slowing down the batters.
