Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Throughout the years, the Ekana pitch has developed a reputation for benefiting spinner and slow bowling which presented significant difficulties for batters. IPL 2025 showcases grounds that provide batters wicketing opportunities through even bounce while offering some help to stroke-makers.
Statistically the total games at this stadium reached 17 before IPL 2025 began and teams batting first and second have matched each other with eight victories each. The captains who have won the toss choose to chase in most instances since they hope dew will help them achieve their target runs in evening play.
Predicted spinner involvement in IPL 2025 will require slower deliveries to dominate through the middle periods of the match. A score between 170 and 180 runs during the first innings would present a strong competition level at this venue.

Lucknow Weather Report for LSG vs CSK
The evening promises ideal cricket conditions for both fans and players. The weather predictions show Lucknow will remain dry throughout the upcoming Monday. Match hours will bring temperature ranges from 28°C to 30°C alongside high humidity.
The upcoming 40-over contest will remain interruption-free because the weather conditions will stay favorable for a complete match, no matter how hot and humid it gets.
LSG vs CSK Match Prediction
Lucknow Super Giants dominate the cricket field at the moment in a way that can transform the entire match in their favor. The team constructs a powerful squad, which makes them successful in their home stadium and demonstrates excellence in a final-time fight. The strong performance of their middle lineup serves the bowling department well with its tight and disciplined approach.
The confidence levels for Chennai remain low because ongoing batting failures reduce their capability to establish targets or pursue them. The leadership genius of MS Dhoni failed to bring success to his struggling squad.
The current situation and their unbeaten domestic record, together with their home-field advantage, make Lucknow Super Giants the obvious winners of this contest. LSG will control the match while moving forward in their playoff race because CSK needs to rethink their future strategies.
Prediction: Lucknow Super Giants to beat Chennai Super Kings.
