Weather

Pitch

The pitch is mostly in favor of the bowlers, and highly unfavourable for batters. Ekana Stadium in Lucknow uses two types of surfaces, black soil and red soil surfaces. Black soil surface grips the ball which makes the ball reach slowly to the batters. This poses difficulty in scoring runs. Red Soil Surface is good for spinners and pacers, but it is still easy to score runs on the red soil surface.
