The pitch at Lucknow is a new surface, a better batting surface as we saw last year. The pitch will be a decent track to bat on, and there will be something in it for the spin bowlers once the ball gets a little old. There are chances of dew coming in later, hence the team that wins the toss will look to field first.
The weather in Lucknow is expected to be hot, but conditions will be difficult for the players to cope with. The temperatures will hover at 40°C, with no chances of rain.
