Chennai Super Kings team overview
Chennai Super Kings pulled off an exciting win against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL opener, securing victory by six wickets. Then, they displayed their power by defeating Gujarat Titans, the IPL 2023 runners-up, with an impressive 63-run lead. These back-to-back wins have lifted the spirits of the CSK squad, filling them with confidence.

But the one thing to note is that CSK played both their matches at their home ground, but this will be their first away match of the IPL 2024 season.
CSK’s opening batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad and his Kiwi teammate Rachin Ravindra are both in good form, while Ajinkya Rahane and Mitchell are doing well in the middle order. CSK has an explosive all-rounder like Shivam Dubey and a good bowler like pathiRana is also available.

Pitch Report CSK VS DC

Visakhapatnam has hosted 13 IPL matches so far, with an average score of 157 in the first innings and 131 in the second innings. Hence, the team winning the toss might prefer to bowl first here. The slightly grassy pitch might assist the bowlers, helping them to keep the scores in check. Additionally, the humid conditions in Visakhapatnam often provide swing to the fast bowlers early on. Consequently, fast bowlers have taken 63 wickets here, while spinners have managed to grab only 38 wickets.
Weather conditions at Visakhapatnam CSK VS DC
At the start of the match, the temperature at Visakhapatnam is expected to be around 30 degrees Celsius, and it may drop by one to two degrees Celsius by late evening. However, due to the proximity to the coast, there’s a possibility of humidity remaining around 70%. Consequently, there’s a chance of dew formation during the second innings, making it challenging for bowlers. Hence, the team winning the toss may prefer to opt for bowling first to avoid such difficulties.
