Purani Delhi 6 vs East Delhi Riders, DPLT20, Today Match Prediction

OD vs EDR Match Prediction & Analysis

Purani Dilli 6 have qualified for the playoffs. However, they will still need to win this game to reach Qualifier 1. They are currently second in the points table, tied with 2 other teams on 11 points each.

A loss here could mean PD6 fights it out in the Eliminator to reach Qualifier 2. A win here by a handsome margin will ensure their Net Run Rate stays higher than others, with Purani Dilli 6 joining CDK in QF 1.

East Delhi Riders, who stayed at the bottom for most of the season, with 5 losses and an abandoned game in their first 6 outings, have won two of their last 3 matches to get off the bottom.

Mayank Yadav and skipper Simarjeet Singh played key roles in these wins with their bowling spells. Ashish Meena is another reliable wicket-taker in the squad who can put the Riders on top with crucial breakthroughs.

Will they get the better of a strong and deep batting lineup of Purani Dilli 6? Or will Anuj Rawat’s men make light of the EDR bowling challenge?

TEAMS PREVIEW

Purani Delhi 6 Preview

Purani Dilli 6 are on the verge of reaching the QF1. They will fancy their chances as they take on EDR, a team with only 2 wins so far this season. Moreover, PD6 come into this match off a thumping victory in their last game.

Aryan Gaur and Dev Lakra led them to a 211-run total after being put to bat first against North Delhi Strikers. Despite Ajay Ahlawat’s wicketless and expensive spell, Purani Dilli 6 sealed a 20-run win with standout performances from Rajneesh Dadar and Udhav Mohan with the ball.

This was a strong comeback from the Anuj Rawat-led team right after their 21-run loss to Outer Delhi Warriors in the previous match. Anuj Rawat is struggling to find form, and his lack of runs in the middle order can hurt their chances in this game if the opposition scores a 200+ run total batting first.

In their loss against the Warriors, Rawat and Lakra were out for 4 and 11, while Lalit Yadav scored 29 off 23 at number 5 while chasing 220 runs. Gaur, Lakra, and Yadav are the match-winners in this batting lineup.

Gaur’s opening partner Samarth Seth also looks in fine rhythm and has delivered quality knocks in his last couple of outings. Rajneesh Dadar, Digvesh Singh Rathi, and Udhav Mohan are the key wicket-takers to watch out for. On the whole, the bowling has struggled to find breakthroughs in the last few matches.

Interesting Stats

Aryan Gaur and Samarth Seth have scored 47 and 104-run partnerships in their last two outings

In the powerplay, Purani Dilli 6 have scored 76 and 85 runs in the last two matches while batting first and second, respectively

Purani Delhi 6 Predicted Playing XI:

Aryan Gaur, Samarth Seth, Anuj Rawat (c) (wk), Dev Lakra, Lalit Yadav, Rohan Rathi, Pankaj Jaswal, Rajneesh Dadar, Udhav Mohan, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Ajay Ahlawat

Purani Delhi 6 Actual Playing XI:

Lalit Yadav, Samarth Seth, Dev Lakra, Gaurav Saroha, Anuj Rawat, Digvesh Rathi, Rajneesh Dadar, Udhav Mohan, Pankaj Jaswal, Rohan Rathi, Ashwini Chillar, Aryan Gaur

East Delhi Riders Preview

Can they spoil the party for PD6? With 2 wins from their last 3 matches, it seems highly likely that the Riders will trouble the hosts. Even if they lose, it will not be an easy win for Purani Dilli 6.

East Delhi is riding on their outstanding bowling performances on a wicket where batters have dominated in almost every game. The Riders bowled out ODW for 134 runs in the last match while bowling first.

Outer Delhi Warriors is the same team that scored 219 runs in their recent encounter against Purani Dilli 6. Mayank Yadav, Simarjeet Singh, and Ashish Meena got through the ODW batting order, bringing them down to 46 for 5 in the first 6 overs.

And while Sujal Singh struggled to get going at the top in the run chase, EDR had others stepping up and rising to the occasion. Kavya Gupta and Vaibhav Baisla stayed unbeaten and saw the team through at 4 and 5 respectively.

Riders’ main concern with the bat is consistency. There hasn’t been a single fifty in the last 3 innings for EDR. Without Arpit Rana and Vansh Mehra opening the innings, East Delhi Riders aren’t as threatening. A lot depends on their bowlers, who have delivered consistent performances lately.

Interesting Stats

EDR have restricted the opposition to under 180 in the last 3 outings, bowling out the other team for 136 and 156 in their two wins.

While Mayank Yadav has picked a 3-fer twice in the last 3 innings, Simarjeet Singh and Ashish Meena have done it once.

East Delhi Riders Predicted Playing XI:

Hardik Sharma, Kavya Gupta, Sujal Singh, Mayank Rawat, Vaibhav Baisla, Suryansh Raina (wk), Rohan Parchanda, Harsh Bhardwaj, Simarjeet Singh (c), Mayank Yadav, Ashish Meena

East Delhi Riders Actual Playing XI:

Arpit Rana , Sujal Singh, Mayank Rawat, Rounak Waghela, Kavya Gupta, Rohit Yadav, Vaibhav Baisla, Vansh Jetly, Simarjeet Singh, Mayank Yadav, Ashish Meena, Suryansh Raina

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect mostly cloudy skies in Delhi, with a high of 32 degrees Celsius and humidity around 70% at match time. While there isn’t a rain forecast and we don’t expect weather interruptions during the game, the humidity is likely to increase as the game progresses, making it even more difficult for the bowlers in the second innings, especially at the death, to grip the ball, with the dew factor coming into play.

OD vs EDR Pitch Report

It is a great batting wicket at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, with the average first-innings score of 189 runs in the last 5 Delhi Premier League matches played here. Central Delhi Kings scored 232 runs batting first in their last match here against West Delhi Lions. It was the biggest total of the season. It was also the third 190+ first-innings total in the last 5 games played here. Only once among these three occasions has the team successfully defended the total.

Toss: To Bowl

There have been some wins for the batting teams recently, but only if they score a massive total in the first innings. If the team fails to cross the 180 or the 190-run mark, there is a very low chance of successfully defending the total. In the last 5 matches, the chasing team has emerged victorious thrice. And though Purani Dilli 6 successfully defended a total in their last game, we reckon they will still prefer to bowl first in this one.
