LSG vs CSK: Ekana Stadium Pitch Report

The Ekana Stadium pitch has generally favored batters in recent matches, but for today’s game, the black soil pitch might be used, which typically offers more assistance to bowlers, especially spinners. A turning track is expected, shifting conditions back in favor of the bowlers. While previous games here featured easier batting conditions, this change could result in a slower surface with variable bounce. If it is indeed a black soil pitch, the captain winning the toss may prefer to bat first and set a target before the pitch deteriorates. However, if it’s a red soil pitch, chasing could still be a viable option. A strong windstorm was observed during the players’ practice session earlier in the day, but according to weather reports for the LSG vs CSK match, no heavy rain is expected, and the skies should remain clear.
