The city of Visakhapatnam is ready to welcome Indian Premier Legaue action for the first time after four long years. The last time that Vizag witnessed the IPL, was in 2019, in the knockout rounds.
Delhi Capitals (DC) are scheduled to play two of their home matches ACA-VDCA Stadium in the eastern coastal city this season. They play their first home game on Sunday, as they host Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Rishabh Pant, who is back after a long road to recovery following a car accident in December 2022, will hope to get side their first win of the season. DC have lost both of their opening encounters, against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
Meanwhile, CSK have won two out of two matches so far. Pant would want to get the better of his mentor, MS Dhoni, who stepped down of captaincy role for CSK ahead of IPL 2024.

DC vs CSK: Prediction

The Capitals on the other hand, are yet to win a game, and are struggling to find their feet. Play at their home for the first time this season, DC are currently ninth on the table. Rishabh Pant & Co. would expect to cause an upset over the league-leaders, and get their points tally underway.
