West Delhi Lions Preview
The Lions have emerged as a balanced unit in this tournament. Krish Yadav has been in stellar form, anchoring the top order with calculated aggression, while skipper Nitish Rana provides the middle-order solidity. The team thrives on finishing power, with Ravneet Tanwar proving his worth as a dangerous lower-order hitter. Bowling remains their biggest strength; Shivank Vashisht and Manan Bhardwaj have consistently kept things tight in the middle overs, while Hrithik Shokeen provides an attacking spin option. The Lions’ ability to close out matches under pressure has been evident in their narrow victories. They’ve proven effective when batting first, winning twice in four such games, making early partnerships vital.
Predicted XI:
Ankit Kumar, Krish Yadav (wk), Ayush Doseja, Nitish Rana (c), Ravneet Tanwar, Shivank Vashisht, Mayank Gusain, Manan Bhardwaj, Hrithik Shokeen, Anirudh Chowdhary, Shubham Dubey
Outer Delhi Warriors Preview
The Warriors have endured a disappointing season so far. Priyansh Arya has been their only consistent performer, providing solid starts at the top. However, a lack of partnerships and middle-order collapses have haunted them. Dhruv Singh and Harsh Tyagi have shown glimpses of form, but the team’s inability to post or chase down 160+ scores has hurt them deeply. With the ball, skipper Siddhant Sharma and Suyash Sharma have tried hard, but without significant support from others, opponents have chased their totals with ease. Unless their middle order steps up, the Warriors will continue to struggle against well-rounded sides like the Lions.
Predicted XI:
Priyansh Arya, Rishabh Drall, Keshav Dabas, Dhruv Singh (wk), Jitesh Singh, Harsh Tyagi, Shivam Sharma, Siddhant Sharma (c), Mohit Panwar, Kamal Bairwa, Shaurya Malik

Players to Avoid: Rishabh Drall (inconsistent), Mohit Panwar (expensive in death overs)
Fantasy Analysis:
The Lions’ core players like Krish Yadav and Rana provide strong fantasy points with bat and leadership. Shivank Vashisht is a game-changer with his all-round abilities. For the Warriors, Arya and Tyagi could be differential picks. Avoid inconsistent middle-order batsmen who fail to convert starts.
Favorite Team in Today’s Match
The West Delhi Lions start as favorites. Their batting unit looks much stronger with dependable top and middle-order performers. Add to that the depth of their bowling attack, which has managed to restrict opponents even on flat decks, and the Lions look like the more balanced side. The Warriors, by contrast, lack consistency and depend heavily on Priyansh Arya and Harsh Tyagi to deliver. Unless they find multiple contributors, they will find it tough to match the Lions’ firepower.
