Team Previews
Outer Delhi Warriors Preview:
Outer Delhi Warriors’ campaign has been disappointing with just one win and five losses so far. Their batting unit has shown flashes of brilliance but has lacked consistency. Priyansh Arya has been the lone bright spot with 191 runs, holding the middle order together. Sanat Sangwan’s quick starts and Shivam Sharma’s valuable contributions have added stability, but collapses at crucial stages continue to hurt them. In the bowling department, Suyash Sharma has impressed with 8 wickets, often providing breakthroughs in the middle overs. However, the lack of support from the pace attack has been a major drawback. In their last match against South Delhi Superstarz, despite setting a competitive total of 139 in 16 overs, their bowlers failed to hold their nerve as Tejaswi Dahiya single-handedly took the game away. Going into this clash, the Warriors must find collective rhythm in both batting and bowling to challenge the Strikers.
North Delhi Strikers Preview:
North Delhi Strikers are placed fifth with a balanced record of three wins and three losses. Their batting strength lies in Sarthak Ranjan, who has amassed 307 runs and continues to dominate opposition attacks. Along with Arnav Bugga and Vaibhav Kandpal, who chipped in with a lower-order 45 in the last game, the Strikers have a solid batting lineup capable of recovery even after early setbacks. However, their inconsistency has been evident, as seen in the last match where they managed only 124 against New Delhi Tigers. On the bowling front, Harshit Rana has been their go-to man with 10 wickets, while Kuldip Yadav and Noor Ilahi add variety to their attack. To beat the Warriors, North Delhi Strikers will need their top order to fire consistently while their bowlers must keep Arya and Sangwan quiet early on.

Favourite Team Today
Outer Delhi Warriors head into this game as the favorites despite their poor campaign so far. The main reason is the balance they possess in both batting and bowling. With Priyansh Arya anchoring the innings and Sanat Sangwan capable of quick runs at the top, their batting looks sharper compared to North Delhi Strikers. Moreover, Suyash Sharma’s wicket-taking ability in the middle overs could prove decisive against Strikers’ shaky middle order. The Warriors also seem more desperate for a win, which often brings out the best in struggling teams. North Delhi Strikers, though dangerous with Ranjan in form, have been inconsistent in finishing games. Hence, Outer Delhi Warriors are slightly ahead on paper and current conditions favor them.
