Head-to-head

While looking at their head-to-head record in the tournament so far, this encounter holds significant weight as both teams have a history of intense battles. Having crossed paths 3 times in the tournament already, each team boasts a victory apiece, with one match ending in a washout.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Lucknow Super Giants: 1 win
  Chennai Super Kings: 1 win

Pitch report:

The pitch at Ekana Stadium is expected to be slightly slower. Batsmen may encounter difficulty scoring against the older ball, despite the new ball’s ease of coming off the bat. To excel, pacers will resort to employing more cutters and bowling into the pitch as the match progresses.

Spinners will find ample assistance, posing challenges for batsmen during the middle overs. In Lucknow, teams batting first have enjoyed remarkable success, securing victories in 6 matches compared to 3 for chasing teams. Consequently, it appears probable that the team winning the toss will opt to bat first.

Ground history:

The Ekana International Cricket Stadium, located in Lucknow, India, has hosted six T20 matches. The home side won 3 matches, while the neutral sides also won three.

Choosing to bat first can be advantageous, with 5 wins compared to one win while chasing. Teams winning the toss won 2 matches, while 4 were won by teams losing the toss.

The highest individual innings was 111* by Rohit Sharam, and the best bowling figures were 5/11 by Afghanistan’s Karim Janat. The highest team innings was 199/2 in the India vs Sri Lanka match, with an average runs per wicket of 22.52 and an average runs per over of 7.04.

Fantasy Value:

1. Given the slower nature of the pitch and the assistance spinners are expected to find, selecting spinners who can exploit these conditions to take wickets in the middle overs would be valuable. Look for spinners with variations and control, capable of stifling the opposition’s batting lineup and picking up important breakthroughs.

2. Considering the historical success of teams batting first in Lucknow and the challenge of scoring against the older ball, investing in top-order batsmen from teams likely to bat first could yield significant fantasy points. These batsmen have the opportunity to build a solid foundation early in the innings and capitalize on favourable conditions before the pitch potentially becomes more difficult to bat on later in the match.
