Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be heading to Lucknow to play their first home league game of the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season when they host Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday evening. LSG have won one and lost once in the first two matches, while Punjab have won the only game they played this season.
The pitch at Ekana Stadium is known to be slow and two-paced, often favoring bowlers, particularly spinners. High-scoring matches are less common, and batting becomes challenging as the game progresses. But the intent of today’s batters takes away the pitch factor. Despite the surface being slow, expect the first innings score in excess of 180 runs.
