Team Preview
East Delhi Riders
The East Delhi Riders are in dominant form with 6 wins from 7 matches, making them the table-toppers. Their batting has been led by Arpit Rana (428 runs), who has consistently provided match-winning knocks. Alongside him, Anuj Rawat has also been in superb touch, playing the anchor role when required. Their bowling attack, spearheaded by Rounak Waghela (8 wickets) and supported by Navdeep Saini, has been disciplined and effective in defending totals. In their last game against Purani Delhi 6, Riders once again showcased their depth by scoring 172 and defending it successfully. Their ability to win close matches makes them strong contenders for the trophy.
North Delhi Strikers
The North Delhi Strikers have had a mixed season so far with 3 wins and 4 losses, placing them at 5th on the table. Their batting has revolved around Sarthak Ranjan (341 runs) and Vaibhav Kandpal, while Harshit Rana (11 wickets) has been the standout bowler. However, inconsistency has cost them crucial games. In their last match against Outer Delhi Warriors, despite putting up a strong total of 193, their bowlers struggled against aggressive batting from Priyansh Arya and Rishabh Drall. To challenge East Delhi Riders, Strikers need both batting and bowling departments to click together.

East Delhi Riders are the favorites because of their excellent form, balance in the squad, and consistent performances from their top-order batters.
