Vizag all set to host DC vs KKR IPL 2024 game on Wednesday, April 3. Vizag will be the home ground of Delhi Capitals for a couple of matches. This is the Capitals’ second and last game at this location.
Delhi Capitals come into this match after beating CSK in their last match. They posted 191 and the Super Kings reached 171 in the chase. Despite MS Dhoni’s late heroics with the ball, the Men in Yellow lost the match.
The Capitals got their perfect combination for this game as they decided to bring in Prithvi Shaw instead of Ricky Bhui. He scored 43 off 27 balls and added a 93-run stand to set up the game for the Capitals.
Rishabh Pant then scored his first fifty of the season as he made his way there. After the first victory, DC is looking for a competent team. They have also won three of their last five matches against KKR.
The Kolkata Knight Riders won their first two games. They were lucky to win the first match against SRH but showed their class against RCB. They were also clinical in bowling at Chinnaswamy and restricting RCB below 200 was a great job.
Gautam Gambhir’s decision to stick with Sunil Narine paid off as he scored a quickfire 47. Venkatesh Iyer also scored a quick fifty to help KKR win with more than three overs to spare and increase their NRR.

From what we saw in the DC-CSK clash, Visakhapatnam is a high-scoring venue. The field is flat and suitable for hitting. However, bowlers have a real rhythm and bounce off it if they can be identified, as the DC bowlers demonstrated. Matheesha Pathirana bowled some accurate yorkers which is another way to minimize the damage here.
So far 14 games have been played at the venue with seven games won by the team batting first and seven games chasing/206 posted by MI against DC is the highest score posted at this venue.
