Indian T20 League 2023 — Match 63: Lucknow vs Mumbai | D3 Guide
Venue Guide (Ekana Stadium)
Win % Batting 1st: 33%
Win % Batting 2nd: 67%
Pitch Report: The pitch in Lucknow has been a little two-paced. The ball grips and turns here, so run-scoring is difficult. It might be a little better for batting if a fresh wicket is used. Nonetheless, spinners and slow bowlers will enjoy bowling in this game.
Weather: It will be a clear day in Lucknow with temperature looming high over 35 Celsius. It won’t be too humid and winds will blow at 12km/h.
Dependable Trio for D3
Kyle Mayers (Lucknow): Mayers has batted beautifully in his inaugural season for Lucknow. He goes berserk from the ball one and often gets to a good score. On top of it, he bowls an over or two as well. Mumbai’s new-ball bowling isn’t that threatening and Mayers could easily target them in the powerplay.
Corey Anderson (OG — Batter 4) (Mumbai): Initially Suryakumar Yadav would come to bat at 4 for Mumbai but in the last few games, he has been batting at number 3 and scoring big. So, young Nehal Wadhera is the one who’s batting at 4. He is a terrific batter and has been batting like a dream this season. He would be a safe pick for this game.
Ravi Bishnoi (Lucknow) [Captain]: The wicket at Ekana Stadium is quite helpful for spinners and Bishnoi enjoys bowling on tracks where there is a bit for tweakers. He could rip through Mumbai’s batting if he sticks to the right lengths. He would be our captain pick for this game.
