PITCH REPORT
Ekana International Cricket Stadium, also known as Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, is a cricket stadium located in Lucknow, India. It was built in 2017 and has a seating capacity of around 50,000 spectators. The stadium has hosted various domestic and international cricket matches, including Indian Premier League (IPL) matches, since its inauguration. It is one of the modern cricket venues in India and has been named after Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Prime Minister of India.
Here’s a typical pitch report for Ekana Stadium:
- 1. Bounce and Carry: The pitches at Ekana Stadium often offer good bounce and carry for the bowlers, which makes it conducive to fast bowling. Seamers can extract movement off the surface, especially in the early stages of the match.
- 2. Batting-Friendly: Despite offering assistance to bowlers, the pitches in Bangalore are generally batting-friendly. Batsmen can play their shots freely and score runs quickly due to the true bounce and even pace of the wicket.
- 3. Big Boundaries: One notable characteristic of Ekana Stadium is its relatively big boundaries, especially square of the wicket. This makes it tough for batsmen to clear the ropes and score boundaries, leading to high-scoring contests.
- 4. Spinners’ Role: While seamers may enjoy some assistance, spinners also have a role to play, particularly as the match progresses. The pitch tends to slow down as the game goes on, allowing spinners to vary their pace and extract turns.
- 5. Weather Conditions: Weather conditions in lucknow, such as humidity, can also influence the behaviour of the pitch. Generally, matches played under clear skies and dry conditions tend to favor batsmen more, while overcast conditions might assist the seam bowlers.
Overall, M. Stadium is known for producing entertaining and average-scoring matches, with something in it for both batsmen and bowlers. It’s a venue where fans can expect exciting cricketing action, particularly in limited-overs formats like T20 and One-Day Internationals.
