DC vs SRH Visakhapatnam Stadium pitch report: The Delhi Capitals and the Sunrisers Hyderabad match will be hosted in the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag, as SRH will be featuring in their first away match of IPL 2025.
Previously, Sunrisers have played their match only on their home venue, while this time around they will feature under new conditions on a different track. Though it is not their home venue, still Sunrisers are expected to relish huge support as the action shifts to Vizag, the home ground of iconic youngster Nitish Kumar Reddy.
The last match played at the Visakhapatnam Stadium, between the Delhi Capitals and the Lucknow Super Giants, saw a nail-biting thriller with the highest-ever successful chase on this ground. A masterclass from Ashutosh Sharma chased the 211-run target set by LSG for DC.
