Match Details

Pitch Report

DC and SRH will face each other at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, the same venue where DC played against LSG. In that match, Delhi successfully chased their highest total in a thrilling game, thanks to heroics from Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam.

The surface was favourable for batting during the powerplay, offering little assistance to the bowlers. However, as the spinners were introduced, they found turn and grip, shifting the momentum. A similar pitch is expected, with spinners likely to play a key role in controlling the batters.
