The Delhi Capitals are set to take on the Chennai Super Kings in a pivotal match, marking the 13th game of the Indian Premier League 2024.
After suffering a defeat against the Rajasthan Royals, the Delhi Capitals are eager to secure their first points with a win in this match. Meanwhile, the Chennai Super Kings, who have started the season on a positive note, are fresh off a victory over the Gujarat Titans.
The T20 cricket pitch at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam is renowned for its quality. It favors batsmen, offering them the opportunity to play their shots with ease as the ball comes onto the bat nicely. However, fast bowlers may not find significant assistance on this pitch, while spinners can exploit its surface to generate sharp turn, posing challenges for the batsmen. Additionally, spectators can anticipate a warm and humid evening in Visakhapatnam.
The temperature is expected to range from 29 degrees Celsius at 7:30 PM IST, the start time of the game, to 30 degrees Celsius by the end of the match.
