Ekana Stadium Pitch Report
The Ekana stadium surface has assisted spinners over the years. It is slow, and the ball does not come easily onto the bat. Slower bowlers get some grip and turn from the surface. The wicket could be similar for this game too.
The stadium has relatively longer boundaries considering Indian standards. Spinners would love to make use of it by tossing the ball up frequently. Pacers with variations can make a difference. Not offering pace would be key for the bowlers. Batters must rotate the strike well in the middle overs and make the most of the batting conditions in the Powerplay overs.

LSG vs PBKS Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter:
Nicholas Pooran could be the best batter of the match. The Southpaw hasn’t just been in fantastic form, but also has the experience of playing two full seasons at the venue. Pooran is the leading run-scorer right now with 145 runs in two innings at a great batting average of 72.50 and an astonishing batting strike rate of 258.92. Once set, stopping him would be difficult for any type of bowlers.
Probable best bowler:
Arshdeep Singh could be the best bowler of the match. The left-arm pacer has been in good form in different formats. In T20s, he has been taking wickets for fun with the new ball. With the old ball, he has been highly economical. In a high-scoring game against GT, he bowled a great spell and was one of the key reasons behind Punjab Kings’ win. On a surface like Lucknow, he might be key for PBKS.
