IPL 2025 Match 59: LSG vs RCB Pitch Report

The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is well-balanced for both batters and bowlers, with pacers and spinners receiving support. The venue hasn't produced consistent high-scoring games this season, so the winning team will bowl first and chase down targets later. The weather is expected to be pleasant, with temperatures reaching a maximum of 37 degrees on match day.
