Ekana Pitch Report
How does the pitch look? Ekana has faced a lot of criticism for its slow nature. But there is grass on the pitch with no cracks. Although dew could be a factor still, the pitch looks good for batting. As for dimensions, it’s 61m and 68m on the two sides with a 76m straight boundary.

KL Rahul
For KL Rahul, it’s still unclear if he should bat in the middle order for a place in the T20 World Cup squad. He opened the innings for LSG in the first match. However, he will have to bat in the middle order and score runs as the top order in Team India is packed up.

Can LSG open their account?
LSG suffered a 20-run loss to Rajasthan Royals in their opening match. Despite KL Rahul top-scoring with 58 runs, his sluggish approach did raise eybrows. The other concerns are LSG’s middle-order that failed against RR. Their bowling too in absence of Mark Wood isn’t world class.
