India and England are currently facing off in the 29th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The match is taking place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Although the Ekana Cricket Stadium is a relatively new venue that hosted its first ODI in 2019, it is already the home ground for the Uttar Pradesh cricket team and Lucknow Super Giants.
At the moment, India is facing some difficulties after being asked to bat first. They have lost the early wickets of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer. KL Rahul has also been dismissed after contributing 39 runs. However, Rohit Sharma is playing well and aiming to guide India to a competitive total on this slow Lucknow pitch.
Speaking of the Ekana Cricket Stadium, it has hosted a total of eight ODIs, including the ongoing match. This is only India’s second ODI at this venue. Historically, it has not been a ground known for high-scoring matches. However, the World Cup 2023 has witnessed a higher scoring rate compared to previous games.
In the most recent match held at this venue, Sri Lanka successfully chased down a target of 263 runs against the Netherlands. Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama played crucial innings to secure the victory, making it the highest successful run-chase in an ODI at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
To give you a complete perspective, here is a list of the successful run-chases at the Ekana Cricket Stadium:
– Sri Lanka vs. Netherlands – 263 runs on 21st October 2023
– West Indies vs. Afghanistan – 250 runs on 11th November 2019
– Australia vs. Sri Lanka – 210 runs on 16th October 2023
– West Indies vs. Afghanistan – 195 runs on 6th November 2019
