IND vs WI Pitch Report

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow

Conditions at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.

The first-innings average over the last 22 T20I games at this ground is 173, and 150 in the second innings. A score of 165-180 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 13 wins to 9 across the last 22 decided games.

The last 3 first-innings scores here, newest first: 87/6 (LCK, lost), 134/8 (KAN, lost), 118 (KAS, lost). The pitch has played slower lately: the last 3 first innings averaged 113, below the ground average of 173. First-innings totals here have ranged from 118 to 248 in that time.

Toss call: a close one. Bowling first and knowing the target is the safer choice.
