HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

North Delhi Strikers Preview

Priyanshu Vijayran's side is in a spot of bother. They have lost three games in a row and went down against Purani Delhi 6 by 20 runs in the last game. Key players have been inconsistent, and the team has won only once in five games. They must win this game to keep hopes alive of reaching the semifinal.  

Vaibhav Kandpal has been batting well at the top and the team needs a good start from him and Sarthak Ranjan. Yash Dabas has an important role at No. 3, and he must add runs with Kshitiz Sharma and Yajas Sharma. The team also expects a good show in the lower middle order from Priyanshu Vijayran and Yatish Singh.  

The bowling attack has struggled, and the team expects a better show with the new ball from Priyanshu Vijayran and Vaibhav Kandpal. They have leaked runs in the middle over and need Suyash Sharma to bowl better lines along with Aman Bharti. Yatish Singh and Manan Bhardwaj will look to do well in the ing role. 

North Delhi Strikers Predicted Playing XI:

Priyanshu Vijayran (c), Vaibhav Kandpal, Sarthak Ranjan, Yash Dabas, Kshitiz Sharma, Pranav Rajvanshi (wk), Manan Bhardwaj, Suyash Sharma, Anirudh Choudhary, Yatish Singh, Aman Bharti, Yajas Sharma (Impact Player)

West Delhi Lions Preview

In six games, the West Delhi Lions have won only once. Hrithik Shokeen's team suffered a big loss in the last game, going down by 69 runs against the South Delhi Superstarz. It was a poor show from their bowlers that let them down. They are struggling at the bottom of the points table and need a big win to revive their fortunes.  

The team expects a good start in this game from Krish Yadav and Ankit Kumar, as both these players started well in the last game. Yugal Saini, Hrithik Shokeen, and Shivam Gupta missed out in the last game and must do well here. Aryan Dalal, Deepak Punia, and Ekansh Dobal shall look to do well in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack was taken to the cleaners in the last game and conceded 228 runs. The side expects good performances with the new ball from Akhil Chaudhary and Rohit Yadav. Deepak Punia and Hrithik Shokeen must do well in the middle overs. The team also expects a good show from Tishant Pawan Dabla and Shivank Vashisht.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect overcast skies over Delhi and a flat surface where batsmen can play on the up. There isn't much on this wicket for the bowlers, with an average first-inning score over 170 runs. The side batting first would like more than 180 runs on the board.   

NDS vs WDL Pitch Report

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, is one of India's best venues for T20 cricket. Batsmen can play here without fear as the ball comes onto the bat nicely. We have seen high-scoring games here in the past. Fast bowlers must bring out their variations to do well here, and the spinners enjoy good from the wicket. 

Toss: To Bowl

Only three games in this tournament has been won by sides that have batted first. The wicket is excellent to bat on, making it easy for the teams to chase big totals. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.
