The gradual floor on the Ekana cricket stadium and the true wicket on the PCA stadium, the place Lucknow Super Giants raked up the second-highest IPL rating, are worlds aside. The Super Giants have by no means actually mastered the home situations, shedding three out of the 4 matches, and imploded whereas chasing a small goal in opposition to Gujarat Titans final week.
Another probability
The Super Giants will get one other alternative to set the home record right when it takes on stuttering Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday. The taking part in floor on the Ekana stadium will once more be in focus and the important thing differentiator within the contest might be how nicely the batters adapt to the pitch to put up greater than a par complete.
Kyle Mayers, Marcus Stoinis, Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran performed blazing knocks in opposition to Punjab Kings as Lucknow piled up 257 for 5 in opposition to Punjab Kings. But the low bounce on the Ekana stadium won’t encourage such fearless batting and Super Giants batters may have to mood their aggression and play correctly in opposition to the RCB bowlers.
Onus on batters
The top-heavy Royal Challengers Bangalore hasn’t hit full stride this season. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have been constant, however the lack of power-hitters within the decrease order has damage RCB and the facet has contrived to lose matches it ought to have gained. RCB can be taking part in the primary of its 5 consecutive away matches on the Ekana stadium and can discover the situations a bit more difficult. However, the longer boundaries on the stadium will supply some consolation for the RCB bowlers and the onus can be on the batters to come good.
