Lucknow team to clash against DC in today's IPL showdown at Ekana Stadium; know pitch report

The Lucknow Super Giants are all set to take on the in-form Delhi Capitals team, in what promises to be a thrilling IPL 2025 encounter, at their home turf, BRSABV Ekana Stadium. With DC currently sitting comfortably in second place on the points table, they come into this match riding a wave of strong performances. Meanwhile, LSG, positioned fifth, will be eager to narrow the gap and climb the rankings.

So far this season, LSG have hosted four fixtures at the Ekana Stadium, securing two wins. The last meeting between these two sides saw LSG suffer a heavy defeat, largely due to a sensational knock by DC’s Ashutosh Sharma. With home advantage on their side, the Super Giants will aim to bounce back and deliver a clinical performance.

Pitch and Conditions: The Ekana pitch is traditionally known for its balanced nature, offering early assistance to seamers and rewarding spinners as the game progresses, thanks to its dry surface. Batters may need to navigate the initial overs with caution, but once set, there’s potential to accelerate. A first-innings total in the range of 160-170 is expected to be highly competitive.

Weather Report: The weather is expected to stay clear throughout the evening. The temperature will hover around 36°C at the start of the match and dip to around 29°C by the end, with no rain on the radar.
