Purani Dilli 6's recent form has been a bit mixed, they have won 2 and lost 2 of their last 4 matches. In the last match they faced defeat by 27 runs at the hands of North Delhi Strikers. In the bowling department Lalit Yadav (2/26) and Rajneesh Dadar (3/39) put up a good performance but the batting collapsed early in which 3 wickets fell for just 13 runs. Pranav Pant (40), Vansh Bedi (33 off 17) and Lalit Yadav (33) did some fightback but could not get close to the target. If PD6 has to make a comeback then they need to give a strong start to their top order and maintain consistency in bowling.
East Delhi Riders have given a very solid performance so far in this season, they have won 4 out of 6 matches, lost 1 and 1 result is no result. In the last match they achieved a thrilling victory by defeating West Delhi Lions by just 2 runs. Arpit Rana scored a match-winning 71 runs while Hardik Sharma made a valuable contribution of 50. In bowling Navdeep Saini (1/21), Mayank Rawat (2/18) and Rounak Waghela (2/23) together kept the opposition under pressure. The strength of East Delhi Riders is their balanced team which has top-order anchors as well as impactful bowlers who have the ability to make the team win even in close matches.
The Arun Jaitley Stadium of Delhi is considered a batting paradise. Because of the consistent bounce and flat surface, scoring runs is easy here. In most of the DPL matches this season, the batsmen are dominating a lot and it is becoming difficult to control the bowlers.
Pace bowlers have taken more wickets here but spinners can also be effective if the pitch slows down later on in the match. Toss plays an important role because scoring big by batting first and then creating pressure is a good plan but it can give advantage to the chasing team.
East Delhi Riders is dominating the head-to-head record between Purani Dilli 6 and East Delhi Riders so far. Both teams have played 2 matches so far and East Delhi Riders won both. Last season they won the first match by 5 wickets where Mayank Rawat changed the flow of the match with his all-round performance. In the second encounter, East Delhi Riders gave a full demonstration of its batting firepower where their openers stayed at the crease for 20 overs and made a mammoth total of 241 runs.
In the second match, the record-breaking partnership of Anuj Rawat (121*) and Sujal Singh (108*) did not give any chance to the bowlers of Purani Dilli 6. Although PD6's Vansh Bedi kept the chase alive from one side by playing an explosive innings of 96 runs, but lack of support made his efforts go in vain. Harsh Tyagi also made an impact in bowling by taking 3 wickets for East Delhi Riders. The pattern of this rivalry has been one-way so far, but this time Purani Dilli 6 would like to take revenge of their previous result while East Delhi Riders would be in the mood to maintain their flawless record.
