New Delhi Tigers started the tournament with a win when they defeated Outer Delhi Warriors, but the team's momentum dropped after that. They lost two consecutive matches - first against Central Delhi Kings and then against East Delhi Riders. Tigers' batting unit is scoring decent runs, especially Keshav Dalal and Deepak Punia have played well, but a bit of fizz is missing in bowling and finishing. The team is currently at number 6 and they will have to bring consistency to move up the points table.
Purani Dilli 6 fell at the hands of Outer Delhi Warriors in their very first match - they were all out for just 66 runs and lost the match by 82 runs. There their bowling was good - Udhav Mohan showed his brilliance by taking 5 wickets - but the batting was a complete flop. The team is still in search of its first win and is in last position in the points table. The next match will be a chance of redemption for them, but for that they will have to improve in every department - especially intent and partnerships are important in batting.
The surface of Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi is regarded as very favorable for batting in T20 games. The ground in this area is level, allowing the ball to bounce well. The boundary is also narrow, making it easier for the batters to strike powerful shots. This is the reason why high-scoring games can be seen here. Following IPL 2024, an increased number of runs have been achieved and the average score for the first innings has risen above 235. In recent games, the teams that batted first have also done well.
However, there are also opportunities for the bowlers. The quick bowlers may achieve some swing in the early overs, but as the pitch dries, spinners become more influential in the game. Leg spinners have proven to be very effective here, with their economy and average being the highest. Generally, the pitch is favorable for batting, but if bowlers maintain a clever line-length, they can still take wickets. The team that wins the toss generally chooses to chase.
New Delhi Tigers are playing their first ever season in the league and will go against Purani Dilli 6 for the first time in history of Delhi Premier League. As New Delhi Tigers are playing their first season in Delhi Premier League, they will be fighting with Purani Dilli for the first time. Purani Dilli 6 finished third in the points table in the last season with five wins in 10 matches. They lost an equal number of matches which they won last year. They were not able to qualify for the finals as rain and low points table rank clubbed to defeat them.
