The Lucknow Super Giants are finally back in form, winning two back-to-back matches in the Indian Premier League 2026 season, and now they take on Gujarat Titans in their fourth match of the season at home, the Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 12, Sunday, in the first game of the double-header.
For fans heading to the stadium, there is good news as rain is unlikely to interrupt the match. But don't relax too much, because the sun is expected to show no mercy today. Carrying an umbrella might still be a smart move, not for rain, but for the heat.

According to the India Meteorological Department, there is no rain warning for Lucknow today. The signal is green, although there remains a slight 22% chance of rain due to cloud cover. At the time of writing, the temperature is already around 34°C, and it is expected to rise further to nearly 37°C during match hours, making it extremely challenging for players on the field.
Excessive Heat To Play Role
In fact, the heat could play a bigger role than rain. Just yesterday in the IPL clash between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals, players visibly struggled in hot and humid conditions. Tristan Stubbs and David Miller were seen splashing water to cool down, and Stubbs even had issues gripping the bat due to sweaty gloves, which eventually contributed to his dismissal after being denied a glove change.

As per AccuWeather, there is absolutely zero percent chance of rain between 1 PM and 7 PM - which comfortably covers the match duration. So, a full game is expected, but fans and players alike will need to stay hydrated as the heat will be intense.
