PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies would be overcast in Lucknow. The pitch hasn't been a batsman's paradise, as the ball has stopped a bit on the surface. The average first innings total is 167 runs, and the team batting first will need 200 on the board. 

GOLS vs MEMA Pitch Report

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee International Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, is a good ground for batsmen who are selective with stroke-making. The occasional ball stops, and the spinners have done well at this venue. The straight boundaries are long, so batsmen have to time their shots well at this venue.

Toss: To Bat

The side batting first has won the last eight out of ten games. It is an afternoon game, and there won't be much dew in the second innings. It can be a tough wicket to chase scores with the ball not coming onto the bat, and hence the side winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first.
