Pitch Report:
The Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow offers a balanced pitch that supports both batters and bowlers. While the surface has favored pacers in recent matches, spinners have also found some assistance, especially in the latter stages of the game. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, making it more challenging for batters in the second innings. Teams winning the toss may opt to bowl first to take advantage of the conditions.
