India will begin the upcoming five-match T20I series on Tuesday after winning gold at the 2026 Asian Games. Shreyas Iyer’s side has also won its last nine T20Is and will aim for a third straight bilateral series whitewash, while the West Indies will look to bounce back after losing the recent ODI series.
Notably, the flooding made it difficult for both pedestrians and drivers to move through the area. In several places, the road and footpath could not be clearly distinguished, while two-wheelers and four-wheelers struggled to pass through the knee-deep water.
Organizers Face Challenge Ahead Of India-West Indies Match
The waterlogging has increased concerns for the organizers and Lucknow district administration, with a large crowd expected at Ekana Stadium for the India-West Indies T20I. If the water remains around the venue on Tuesday, managing spectator movement and parking could become a bigger challenge.
The match will be the first T20I between the two sides in India since their Super Eight meeting at Eden Gardens during the 2026 T20 World Cup. India won that game with the help of a strong performance from Sanju Samson and went on to qualify for the semi-finals.
Rain Threat and Weather Forecast in Lucknow
According to the Meteorological Department forecast, Lucknow could see showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday, with a 68% chance of rain and a 41% chance of thunderstorms during the day. Cloud cover is expected to remain around 79%, while humidity could reach nearly 79%.
The first T20I will be played on pitch No. 5 at Ekana Stadium, which has a red and black soil mix. Notably, the re-laid pitches produced high-scoring matches during IPL 2026, although the venue can also offer assistance to bowlers.
