West Delhi Lions will take on Purani Delhi 6 after a brilliant outing with the ball against the table-toppers. Purani Delhi 6 have a lot of work to do with the ball. They’ve been very expensive, conceding 200+ while bowling first in two of the last 3 matches.
They do have some quality batters in the side who’ve looked in great touch in the middle order. Vansh Bedi missed his hundred by just 4 runs in the last match at number 5. That will boost Purani Delhi’s confidence coming into this match as they look to move ahead in the points table.
West Delhi Lions finished with 178 runs while batting first in their last match against the mighty South Delhi Superstarz. But they were brilliant with the ball as they sent Priyansh Arya and Ayush Badoni back to the hut in the powerplay.
178 is not a total that can be defended successfully on this pitch. Teams have chased down even bigger total quite comfortably. And WDL made life difficult for the in-form South Delhi batters while chasing this total. Rohit Yadav and Hritik Shokeen are the key bowlers for the West Delhi Lions.

Opening batsman Krish Yadav’s hundred set the stage for a big total. But with no one else making any impactful contributions, West Delhi Lions ended with just 178 runs batting first in their last outing.
However, the bowlers, who had been struggling for quite some time, surprised everyone with a brilliant performance in the powerplay as they picked up 3 crucial wickets to put South Delhi on the back foot.
West Delhi Lions will be confident coming into this match on the back of such a bowling performance where Hritik Shokeen lived up to the expectations while impact player Rohit Yadav also delivered a big wicket.
They will be up against a quality lineup of Delhi Lions. The opposition has struggled with the ball and that’s where WDL will be looking for gains. Lions will need others like Ankit Kumar, Hritik Shokeen, and Ekansh Dhobal to deliver important partnerships.
Anmol Sharma and Tishant Dabla are also very handy with the bat lower down the order but to deliver a good finish they will need a great platform set by the top and middle-order batters. Without the number 3 and 4 batters finding their rhythm, a good start from the openers will not get the Lions to a competitive score.

Purani Delhi were chasing a massive total in their last outing and though they ended up on the losing side, they will be pleased with their effort. They crossed the 200-run mark during the run chase led by Vansh Bedi’s 96-run knock.
Bedi would have inspired PDS with such an effort in the lower middle order. Arpit Rana and Sanat Sangwan were out cheaply but they are among the key batters in this side whose performances will decide Purani Delhi’s fate.
Keshav Dalal is another key batter at number 3 who plays a key role in this batting lineup. The lower-order batters have shown some promise and will be ones to watch out for.
While Lalit Yadav hasn’t been very consistent at number 4, the likes of Vansh Bedi, Arnav Bugga, and Mayank Gusnain have been quite promising with their contributions in the lower order.
Lalit Yadav, Shivam Sharma, and Aayush Singh are the key wicket-takers in this bowling attack. But all of them failed to deliver in their recent match. Prince Yadav is another crucial figure in this squad who’s expected to deliver breakthroughs for the side.

We expect cloudy skies in Delhi on the match day. There will be no rain around the match time and we should have a thrilling encounter between the two teams without any rain interruptions.

Minimal TurnIt is a great wicket for batting and there are plenty of runs on offer here. There were 400+ runs scored in the 20th match of Delhi Premier League at this venue with both teams crossing the 200-run mark. The average 1st innings score here is 186 runs and we reckon anything under 190 will not be a good total at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Purani Delhi haven’t been in great positions while bowling first. West Delhi Lions were brilliant while defending in the last match. Moreover, teams batting first have won 3 of the last 5 matches in this tournament. Though the trend has been to chase a target, batting first should be a better option in this match keeping in mind the current form of both sides.
It will be an exciting game of T20 cricket between these two teams. Both are quite unpredictable and have been inconsistent with their performances lately. However, considering the overall squad strength, and team balance, Purani Delhi 6 have a slight edge in this contest and will start as favorites to win.
