Weather Conditions
The pitch at Ekana in Lucknow starts off true but tends to slow down as the game progresses. Under the lights, pacers will get some swing early on, while spinners become more dangerous as the surface grips. Dew wasnβt much of a factor in the first match played here, so that shouldnβt be a worry for the bowlers. Batters who adjust to the shifting conditions will do well, while bowlers using cutters and slower balls can be game-changers.Β
The weather looks ideal for cricket, with clear skies and no rain expected.
