East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Rounak Waghela was the best bowler for East Delhi Riders in the previous game, even as the team conceded 155 runs in 20 overs. He returned with figures of 2/17 in his three overs, nipping out crucial wickets of Aaryavir Sehwag and Yugal Saini. The Riders will be expecting a similar spell from Waghela in this game and can be backed to pick at least two wickets again.

Yugal Saini has been a rock at number three for West Delhi Lions this season in DPL. He smashed 52 runs off just 32 balls with five fours and two sixes at a strike rate of 162.5 in the previous game. Saini will be high on confidence and has the ability to replicate a similar performance in the first qualifier again. He can be expected to score at least 30 runs against the same opponents yet again.

The temperature during the action in the middle is expected to be around 27-28 Degrees Celsius.

East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Top Batters

Arpit Rana to be East Delhi Riders’s top batter

Arpit Rana has lost his form in the last couple of matches. He registered scores of 17 and 0 in the last two outings while opening the innings and Riders will need him to step up desperately to have any chance of making it to the final of DPL 2025. Arpit Rana has scored 445 runs so far in nine innings with five half-centuries to his name and will be itching to score a lot of runs in this game. Hence, Arpit Rana is expected to be the top batter for the East Delhi Riders.

Nitish Rana to be West Delhi Lions's top batter

Nitish Rana registered the highest score of the season in the previous game. Batting at number four, the left-hander smashed an unbeaten 134 off just 55 balls with eight fours and as many as 15 sixes at a strike rate of 143.64 in the Eliminator. Rana’s form bodes well for West Delhi Lions ahead of another knockout clash and hence, he can be expected to be the top batter for his side.

East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Top Bowlers

Rounak Waghela to be East Delhi Riders’s top bowler

Rounak Waghela has done well with the ball for East Delhi Riders this season. He has mostly bowled in the second half of the powerplay and picked up 11 wickets in 10 matches so far at an average of 29. In the previous game, Waghela bowled three overs and returned with figures of 1/17. Looking at his decent form, Rounak can be expected to be the top bowler for the Riders in Qualifier 2.

Hrithik Shokeen to be West Delhi Lions's top bowler

Hrithik Shokeen might not have picked up wickets at regular intervals for West Delhi Lions. But he has stepped up when they needed someone to do so the most during the season. The spinner did the same in the previous game, returning with figures of 2/28 in his four overs when the team went for 201 runs in 20 overs. Hence, Shokeen is expected to be the top bowler for West Delhi Lions in this game.
