Know the Pitch Report
With the match taking place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, fans’ eyes will also be fixed on the pitch. According to reports, this pitch could either prove to be a high-scoring paradise for batsmen or turn out to be a challenging surface for them when facing the bowlers.
The pitch at the Ekana Stadium is slightly slower compared to other venues. As the match progresses, it tends to become increasingly difficult for batsmen. With the new ball, fast bowlers find swing, while spinners begin to dominate during the middle overs. Given these varying conditions, any team must exercise prudence while bowling and fielding. The average first-innings score at this venue typically ranges between 170 and 175 runs. Meet the LSG Squad
