IPL 2025 weather update: Vizag weather report for March 24 for DC vs LSG match

The fourth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will see the Delhi Capitals (DC) lock horns with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday, March 24, in Visakhapatnam. Both teams will look to win and begin their campaign on a positive note tonight.

Both sides made a lot of changes to their squads during the 2025 mega auctions. Both captains who led the teams last year have traded their jerseys, with Rishabh Pant plying trade for LSG and KL Rahul donning the DC shirt. While Rishabh will lead the Super Giants, Rahul reportedly turned down the offer to captain Delhi. Thus, the Capitals have appointed all-rounder Axar Patel as their leader.

Both teams failed to qualify for the playoffs last year and will be desperate to come up with better performances in IPL 2025. However, LSG have been hit by a few injury blows, with Mayank Yadav, Akash Deep, and Avesh Khan likely to be unavailable for the opening game.

Despite being two of the weakest teams in the tournament, the hype around the match is at an all-time high. Fans are expected to fill the stadium in huge numbers to watch their favorite stars play in front of their eyes.

According to AccuWeather, the skies will be clear and conditions will be pleasant for a game of cricket. The temperature will hover around the 30 degrees Celsius mark during the match hours, while humidity levels will be approximately 70 percent. Moreover, there is no rainfall in the forecast, thus, fans can anticipate an uninterrupted contest between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants.
