Lucknow Super Giants have burnt their fingers thrice by choosing a slow and low black soil pitch at the Ekana Stadium on which batting freely is neigh-impossible. Having lost three of the five home games so far is not helping their cause. Their performance hit the nadir in the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday when they managed just 108 while chasing 127 for victory.

Surface tension

The LSG management, surprisingly have chosen similar surfaces in most of the home games and have paid a heavy price. In the first match of the season, they had chosen the red soil track on which batting first, LSG notched up a healthy 193-6 and won against Delhi Capitals quite comfortably.
