We’re hoping the team wins the toss and chooses to bat first.

The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow offers a balanced pitch, favoring batters early but slowing down later. Spinners get grip and turn as the game progresses, while pacers find movement under lights. T20s here are often low-scoring, indicating a two-paced surface that demands adaptability.

On May 27 at 7:30 PM in Lucknow, the weather will be clear and warm, around 34°C, with light winds and no rain expected.
