Visakhapatnam Pitch Report & Match Prediction

This venue has hosted 16 IPL matches, with an even split—8 wins each for teams batting first and chasing. Interestingly, nine matches were won by teams that won the toss, while seven were won by teams that lost the toss. The highest total recorded here is 272 by Kolkata Knight Riders against Delhi Capitals. The pitch at Visakhapatnam is batting-friendly, allowing quick runs in the powerplay. However, spinners get assistance in the middle overs, making it a well-balanced surface. As the match is scheduled for the afternoon, dew won’t be a factor. Expect the toss-winning captain to opt for batting first. With KL Rahul’s return and both teams aiming for dominance, expect a high-scoring encounter. Who do you think will come out on top?
