CSK vs DC, IPL 2025: Weather Forecast, Pitch Report and More For Chennai

It’s Day 15 of the tournament and emotions are running high—especially in the CSK camp. Following their 50-run loss to RCB, head coach Stephen Fleming was spotted having a serious chat with the Chepauk curator, accompanied by a groundstaff member. In the post-match press conference, he didn’t hold back, expressing clear frustration over the pitch conditions at MA Chidambaram Stadium—an issue he says has lingered for the past two years.

As CSK return to their home ground to take on Delhi Capitals in Match 1 today, all eyes are not just on the playing XI, but also on the weather. Winds will initially blow from the west, gradually turning easterly after 11 PM—something bowlers and captains might want to keep an eye on as the game progresses.

CSK vs DC: Pitch Report, Chennai

An afternoon clash at Chepauk is bound to amplify the spin factor at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. While the surface has generally started off on the slower side this season, it has still offered something for the seamers. However, with today’s early start, that window for pace-friendly conditions might shrink quickly. Expect spinners to come into play sooner than usual.
