The pitch report will broadcast be live from Lucknow before Deepti Sharma and Ash Gardner walk out for the toss. Generally, the pitch in Lucknow is a bit on the slower side. Teams have not been able to score big at this venue.

Even in the IPL, it is rare to see teams crossing the 200-run mark in matches hosted by Lucknow. Since the upcoming match between the UP Warriorz and the Gujarat Giants is the first to be hosted in Lucknow this season, a fresh surface should be on offer.
