The 16th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 will be played between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians. This highly anticipated clash will take place at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Lucknow Super Giants will enter this match after facing a defeat in their previous encounter. Rishabh Pant-led LSG suffered a disappointing loss against Punjab Kings at their home ground, allowing Punjab to secure their second win of the season. Now, Lucknow will aim for their second victory as they take on five-time champions Mumbai Indians.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians are coming off a strong win against Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede. However, this time, MI will have to travel, so what can we expect from the Lucknow pitch? Take a look at the pitch report ahead of LSG vs MI.
Ekana Stadium Pitch Report
Spinners are possibly going to dominate again, as the red soil at Ekana Stadium has generally favoured bowlers more than batters. It is a slow wicket, making it difficult to play big shots. However, what is interesting is that the stats indicate otherwise, with teams batting first winning seven matches and chasing sides securing seven victories in the 15 IPL games played at this venue. Despite this, the team winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first, considering the nature of the pitch.
