IPL 2025: Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium, Visakhapatnam Pitch Report & Key Stats Ahead of DC vs LSG Match

Delhi Capitals (DC) will face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the fourth match of IPL 2025 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on March 24. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM (IST), with both teams aiming to make an early impact in the tournament.

The pitch in Visakhapatnam is known to favor batters, allowing them to play aggressive strokes with ease. The surface is generally flat, making high scores a common sight. However, pacers might get some movement early in the innings, and spinners could come into play as the match progresses. The average first-innings score here is 167, but the highest total recorded is 272, indicating the potential for a high-scoring game.

Out of the 15 IPL matches played at this venue, teams batting first have won eight times, while chasing sides have won seven. With both options proving effective, the toss may not play a decisive role. The highest successful chase at this ground is 173, suggesting that defending totals beyond 170 can be challenging. While light rain is predicted during the day, the match is expected to proceed without major interruptions.

DC might have a slight advantage since they will play multiple games at this venue in the opening week, giving them time to adapt to conditions. However, LSG’s strong batting lineup could pose a serious challenge if they manage to counter the early movement and spin later in the innings.
