EDR vs NDS Match Prediction & Analysis

East Delhi Riders are on a roll with 3 consecutive wins. They’ve been in great form with the bat with most of their key players delivering match-winning knocks at various positions in the batting order.

North Delhi Strikers, on the other hand, have won just 1 of their last 3 matches of the Delhi Premier League 2024. It was only in that match that North Delhi were impressive with the bat, chasing down a 176-run target with 7 wickets in hand.

In their last outing, NDS finished with just 130 runs on the board. They will be up against a strong batting lineup and will need to bring their A-game in every aspect.

East Delhi Riders have a deep lineup with their number 6 batter Mayank Rawat delivering consistently. His form has been crucial to EDR’s winning run. 

North Delhi’s lineup also features some quality batters in the middle-order and all they need is to find consistency to help their team win. Yash Dabas, Yash Bhatia, and Vaibhav Raval are the key batters in the middle order.

TEAMS PREVIEW

East Delhi Riders Preview

With an in-form batting lineup, East Delhi Riders look threatening. They will pose a tough challenge to North Dehli in this contest. Considering their batting form, we reckon even if they were put to bat first, the Riders could still get into a winning position at the halfway stage.

Skipper Himmat Singh has found his rhythm at number 3. Not only is he making big contributions but he’s also scoring them at a good strike rate. Both openers have played some match-winning knocks in recent outings and will be ones to watch out for in this match.

Anuj Rawat and Suraj Singh have great potential and if even one of them gets going at the top, East Delhi Riders will have the upper hand. Hardik Sharma, Samarth Seth, and Mayank Rawat are all in good touch in the middle and lower middle order.

The batting depth with almost everyone in good form puts East Delhi Riders far ahead of their competition. There is always someone or the other who rises to the occasion to deliver an impactful knock that swings the game in their favor.

Simarjeet Singh and Harsh Tyagi are the key wicket-taking bowlers in the side and will be the ones to watch out for.

East Delhi Riders Predicted Playing XI:

Anuj Rawat (wk), Sujal Singh, Himmat Singh (c), Hardik Sharma, Samarth Seth, Mayank Rawat, Pranav Pant, Himanshu Chauhan, Harsh Tyagi, Simarjeet Singh, Bhagwan Singh

East Delhi Riders Actual Playing XI:

Anuj Rawat, Himmat Singh, Samarth Seth, Sujal Singh, Mayank Rawat, Harsh Tyagi, Hardik Sharma, Rounak Waghela, Simarjeet Singh, Himanshu Chauhan, Bhagwan Singh

North Delhi Strikers Preview

North Delhi Strikers are in desperate need of a comeback from their batters. Only once in their last 3 outings have the Strikers been impressive with the bat. On other occasions, they were below par ending up with 130 and 144 runs on the board.

All of the top 4 batters have made some significant contributions to the team total but never all at once. Their performances haven’t come at the right time. 

The ideal scenario for NDS was in their run chase against Central Delhi where Vaibhav Kandpal and Yash Dabas scored a fifty each in the top 3 followed by an unbeaten 34-run knock from Yash Bhatia.

In their last match, North Delhi Strikers finished with just 130 runs on the board with only Sarthak Ranjan (56) and Pranav Rajvanshi (41) scoring 20+ runs. 

Overall, there are plenty of batters in the side who can deliver big and impactful knocks for NDS. All they need is a consolidated effort to outplay their opposition. 

Anirudh Chowdary, Yatish Singh, and Suyash Sharma are the key bowlers in this squad to watch out for. However, there hasn’t been anyone who’s delivered consistent wickets while maintaining a healthy economy.

North Delhi Strikers Predicted Playing XI:

Vaibhav Kandpal, Sarthak Ranjan, Yash Dabas, Vaibhav Rawal, Yash Bhatia, Pranav Rajvanshi (wk), Pranshu Vijayran (c), Manan Bhardwaj, Yatish Singh, Suyash Sharma, Anirudh Chowdhary

North Delhi Strikers Actual Playing XI:

Pranav Rajvanshi, Vaibhav Rawal, Sarthak Ranjan, Vaibhav Kandpal, Yash Bhatia , Yatish Singh , Pranshu Vijayran, Yash Dabas , Suyash Sharma, Aman Bharti I , Anirudh Chowdhary

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect cloudy skies in Delhi on the match day with a high of 33 degrees Celsius. There is no chance of rain and there will be an uninterrupted T20 match between the two teams.

EDR vs NDS Pitch Report

It is a batting-friendly venue with an average 1st innings score of 186 runs in the last 10 matches of the Delhi Premier League. It’s not a belter of a wicket and has some help for the bowlers too. There have been recent matches where bowlers came out on top and troubled the batters.

Toss: To Bowl

10 of the 11 matches of the Delhi Premier League went in favor of the team bowling first. And we reckon the team winning the toss in this match will also choose to bowl. Even big scores have been successfully chased like EDR chasing down 183 and 192 in their last two outings.
