NDT vs PD Match Preview and Team Analysis

New Delhi Tigers

NDT began their campaign with a 40-run win over Outer Delhi Warriors but have since suffered back-to-back defeats, sliding to sixth place. The batting has revolved around Shivam Gupta (138 runs in 3 innings, SR 153.33) and Himmat Singh (121 runs, SR 140), while the rest have struggled for consistency.

The bowling has been their weak point — leaking runs and lacking penetration. Himmat Singh has been the most economical, but others like Aatrey Tripathi and Pankaj Jaswal must step up if they are to stop Purani Dilli’s in-form batting.

Key Players:

• Shivam Gupta – Aggressive opener, scoring runs at a brisk pace.

• Himmat Singh – Captain and key middle-order anchor, also chipping in with wickets.

• Pankaj Jaswal – Needs to lead the pace attack with early strikes.

NDT Predicted Playing XI:
Dhruv Kaushik, Shivam Gupta, Himmat Singh (c), Aryan Dalal, Keshav Dalal (wk), Parth Bali, Deepak Punia, Rahul Dagar, Pankaj Jaswal, Prince Yadav, Aatrey Tripathi (Sub: Ajay Rana)

Purani Dilli 6

After a heavy 82-run loss in their opener, PD6 bounced back with a 15-run win over NDT in their previous meeting, defending 187 confidently. Samarth Seth’s 52 and Dev Lakra’s quickfire 47 showed the batting depth, while their bowling attack — led by Udhav Mohan (6 wickets in 2 matches, econ 6.32) and Rajneesh Dadar (4 wickets, econ 5.13) — is one of the most effective in the league.

With a balanced lineup and disciplined bowling, PD6 will aim to build on their winning momentum.

Key Players:

• Samarth Seth – Reliable opener with the ability to accelerate.

• Udhav Mohan – Leading wicket-taker with impressive economy.

• Rajneesh Dadar – Key in the middle overs with tight spells.

PD6 Predicted Playing XI:
Samarth Seth, Aarush Malhotra (wk), Vansh Bedi (c), Pranav Pant, Dev Lakra, Lalit Yadav, Ekansh Dobal, Rajneesh Dadar, Aayush Singh, Udhav Mohan, Pardeep Parashar (Sub: Yug Gupta)
