Ekana International Stadium – Pitch Report
This particular venue offers two pitches – one with red soil and the other with black. With the bounce being quite low on the latter, it has proven to be a tough one to bat on. However, both of LSG’s home fixtures this season have been played on the one made up of red soil, and have provided high-scoring matches, with LSG winning both their fixtures this season by batting first, and then applying the strangle on their opponents to get over the line. Opting to bat first and restricting the team chasing could quite possibly be the way to go for both teams.
