The pitch at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow has been a tough pitch this season. The large dimensions of the ground make it challenging to hit big shots. Dew coming in the second innings also makes batting easier, hence the team that wins the toss is all set to field first.
Lucknow's weather is expected to be hot. There are no chances of rainfall on the matchday, and temperatures will hover around 38°C.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a better chance of winning this match as they are in better form than the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
