Vizag is poised to be the venue for the IPL 2024 match between DC and KKR on Wednesday, April 3rd. It serves as the home ground for the Delhi Capitals for a few matches, with this being their second and final game at this location.
The Delhi Capitals enter this match fresh from their victory over CSK in the previous encounter. They set a formidable total of 191, and though the Super Kings made a valiant effort in the chase, reaching 171, they ultimately fell short. Despite MS Dhoni’s impressive performance with the ball towards the end, the Men in Yellow couldn’t secure the win.
Rishabh Pant marked his first fifty of the season with an explosive performance. Following their initial victory, DC is in search of a consistent lineup. Additionally, they have emerged victorious in three of their last five encounters against KKR.
Meanwhile, the Kolkata Knight Riders have secured victories in their first two matches. While their win against SRH might have been a bit fortunate, they showcased their prowess against RCB. Their bowling performance at the Chinnaswamy Stadium was particularly impressive, containing RCB to a score below 200.
