The pitch at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is expected to be a good batting deck with the ball coming nicely onto the bat. However, during the first innings, especially during the powerplay, the pitch is expected to be slightly sluggish, once the ball gets a little older & the dew setting in makes it easier to bat. The team winning the toss will most likely bowl first in these conditions.
Lucknow's weather is expected to be hot. There are no chances of rainfall on the matchday, and temperatures will hover around 34°C.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a better chance of winning this match as they are in better form than the Lucknow Super Giants.
