Lucknow had met Kolkata in their last encounter, where they came out all guns blazing with the bat. With everyone in the top order firing, they had already posted a mammoth total of 238 runs on the board. Kolkata, in return, started well too and looked calm in the chase. However, they had a mini-collapse, due to which they could not evade the loss by just four runs.

Gujarat fought against Rajasthan in their last game, where they were invited to bat first. Sai Sudharsan was brilliant yet again, and his knock of 82 led the team to a total of 217. Rajasthan were truly never in the chase as they just kept on losing wickets regularly and were bundled together for just 159, losing the game by 58 runs.

Since the previous IPL season, the pitch at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium has generally been suitable for batting. During the last game, though, the track gave the quick bowlers using the new ball a hint of seam movement and spongy bounce. The batters must, therefore, be careful when selecting their shots, particularly in the opening overs.

Overall, the conditions are anticipated to be suitable for batting, while the spinners may get some turn. Contrary to popular belief, Ekana Stadium's pitch hasn't been particularly slow since the last IPL season. 

Winds up to 13 km/h with gusts up to 17 km/h are forecast from the west. However, there is almost no chance of precipitation and thunderstorms in the forecast. 1% precipitation chances with 0.0 mm of rainfall and 0% thunderstorms are forecasted. About 50% humidity and 10% cloud cover will make it a very hot and humid day on the field. The temperature is predicted to peak at 36 degrees during the day with the real feel of 38 degrees and drop to 23 with the real feel of 22 degrees at night, with a slight decrease during playtime.
