Lucknow: The 26th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 will be played between Lucknow Supergiants and Delhi Capitals. Both teams will play this match at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Lucknow team is now back on the winning track in the league and is now running at third place in the points table. The struggle for victory is still going on for Delhi Capitals.
Whereas for Delhi, it seems that it lacks ‘Plan B’ which was clearly visible in the 106-run defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders. Recently, after the defeat against another struggling team Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals slipped to the bottom of the points table with a poor net run rate of -1.370. The biggest concern of Delhi Capitals is their fast bowling unit which does not show any edge.
Lucknow vs Delhi, pitch report
The pitch at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is often helpful for the bowlers. Especially the spinners do wonders with their bowling here. If the match is being played on a black soil pitch then the problems for the batsmen increase. Runs are definitely scored in Ekana but for that the batsmen have to spend some time on the pitch.
Talking about IPL 17th season, two matches were held in Lucknow. 160 plus score has been made in both these matches. This shows that if patience is shown while batting, runs can be scored. So far 9 IPL matches have been played on this ground, in which the team batting first has won 6 matches. The team chasing the target has won in three matches. In such a situation, the toss is going to play a very important role in the match between Lucknow and Delhi.
