Ekana Stadium, Lucknow Pitch Report

"The bowlers for once in this IPL might be quite looking forward to this. First of all, it's a used pitch, you can tell by the footmarks. 66 metres to either side (square), so there is no shorter side today. The pockets are about 71m, straight down the ground - 76m. The strip looks interesting. 163 was the score here last time, they were able to defend it," Graeme Swann and Aaron Finch said ahead of the LSG vs MI.

"That should give the bowlers a lot of confidence. There is a little bit of grass on the surface but I don't think that that will play too much of a part. I expect it to be on the slower side and as we come down the strip a little bit more, you see some bare patches and that's quite consistent right throughout, you can see some red coming through. Expect the ball to spin and hold in the wicket a little bit more and that'll suit the Lucknow side more. There's a bit of breeze tonight. It could be a night for the bowlers," they added.

In the match, MI scored 141/7 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first. Pacers picked five wickets, while spinners one. Tilak Varma got run out. LSG chased down the target in 19.2 overs after losing six wickets. Mumbai pacers picked four wickets, while off-spinner Mohammad Nabi picked one wicket. Ayush Badoni got run out.
