The pitch of Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is generally considered very good for bowlers. The field is big and the ball does not come directly to the bat. Spinners have been showing their mettle on the Lucknow pitch. If fast bowlers do not take wickets in the beginning then it becomes difficult for them to achieve success. But as soon as the spinners arrive, the run rate comes to a halt. Although now the stadium of Lucknow has become more suitable for batting than before, still a big score cannot be expected
