ACA-VDCA Stadium Vizag Pitch Report: Is the surface batting or bowling friendly?

The pitch at ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam has been a paradise for the batters since the last IPL season, as evidenced by the above stats. The average scoring rate in the last three IPL matches at this venue reads a whopping 10.44, signifying the track's batting-friendly behaviour. 

While there won't likely be any lateral movement for the pacers, the spin bowlers might get some turn across both innings. In fact, the spinners bagged nine out of 15 wickets in the previous IPL game in Visakhapatnam between DC and LSG. 

However, the track is expected to remain the same across both innings. So, unless it's a dry wicket, expect the toss-winner to bowl first.
