Lucknow to not aid spinners in the match?

After the IPL 2023, the pitch of Lucknow received a lot of criticism. Many were not happy with its high sluggish nature. So, the pitch was renovated after the tournament. Before the 2023 ODI World Cup, everyone was eager to know the new composition of Lucknow. As it turns out, Lucknow has now rolled out red soil pitch in almost all its matches. 

The new pitch is not helpful for the batters. But the batters with the right intent can score runs. But the pacers can extract something out of the pitch. Spinners might get some turn. It is now a good cricket pitch to play on. In all the matches till now, there have not been any threatening features on the pitch, which should go well with everyone.
