Pitch Report
In Words
The Ekana Cricket Stadium pitch has shown varying behavior in IPL 2025. While the surface was quick and offered good pace in the first match, it noticeably slowed down in the following two games. Despite allowing free scoring in the initial 10 overs of the most recent match, the pitch became sluggish in the second half, making stroke play more difficult. This shifting nature highlights the unpredictable character of the 22-yard strip in Lucknow this season.
