IPL 2025: Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Pitch Report & Key Stats Ahead of DC vs SRH Match

Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the tenth match of IPL 2025 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on March 30. The match is set to begin at 3:30 PM (IST), and both teams will be eager to secure two crucial points.

The pitch in Visakhapatnam is known for being batting-friendly, with a hard surface that allows the ball to come onto the bat smoothly. The average first-innings score here is 170, but the highest total recorded is 272, proving that big scores are possible.

In IPL 2025, the first game at this venue saw a successful chase of 209, further confirming the ground’s tendency to favor batters. New-ball bowlers don’t get much assistance, while spinners might find some turn, but not enough to trouble well-set batters.

Out of the 16 IPL matches played here, both batting first and second have resulted in eight wins each, showing that the toss does not play a huge role. However, given the conditions, teams are more likely to opt for bowling first to take advantage of any early movement and chase under favorable conditions. The scoring rate at this venue in the previous season was 10.34 runs per over, indicating another high-scoring contest.

With this being DC’s second game at this venue in IPL 2025, they might have a slight edge in terms of familiarity. However, SRH’s strong batting lineup is well-equipped to make the most of the conditions. The team that bowls better under pressure will likely walk away with a win.
