In the upcoming IPL 2024 match, Lucknow Super Giants will face Rajasthan Royals at the Ekana Stadium, Lucknow, starting at 7:30 PM IST on April 27. The pitch at Ekana Stadium typically favors slow and damp conditions, posing challenges for batting, especially against spinners. Despite a recent match where grass was left on the pitch, resulting in less assistance for spinners, we anticipate LSG to prepare another slow pitch, with a par score ranging between 160-170 runs.
