Arun Jaitley Stadium

Defending champions East Delhi Riders will face West Delhi Lions in the fourth match of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, on Monday, August 4, at 2:00 PM IST. Having already opened their account with a win, the Riders will be aiming for back-to-back victories, while the Lions will be eager to bounce back after finishing at the bottom of the table in the 2024 season.

East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Chance of Winning

Defending champions East Delhi Riders began the DPL 2025 season in style as they beat South Delhi Superstarz by five wickets in a last-ball thriller. Their morale would be at an incredible high after a thrilling win, and they will want to ride on the form shown by skipper Anuj Rawat, who bagged yet another half-century.

Meanwhile, West Delhi Lions went big on Nitish Rana in the DPL 2025 auction in a bid to better their performances from last season, where they finished last. The presence of Ishant Sharma gives them experience in the bowling department as well. All-rounders like Hrithik Shokeen and talented batter Krish Yadav add the X-factor to the Lions.

East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Tips

Picking Anuj Rawat is a no-brainer. The southpaw was the fourth-highest run-scorer in the DPL 2024 season with 356 runs from 10 games and has begun DPL 2025 with a sparkling 55 off 35 balls. Nitish Rana is expected to make the most of the powerplay at the top of the order and is also a prolific run-scorer. Betting on him is a safe option. Ishant Sharma can make the new ball talk and be lethal, making him an attractive betting choice.

East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Match Toss Prediction

At the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, captains chose to bowl first after winning the toss in 23 out of 30 matches last season and went on to win 16 of those games. In fact, the trend continued in the opening fixture of DPL 2025, where South Delhi Superstarz decided to bat first and ended up on the losing side. This makes it even more probable that teams winning the toss will prefer to bowl first in upcoming matches.

Weather Report

AccuWeather predicts only a 25% chance of precipitation, so the first game of the DPL 2025 season is likely to go ahead without any rain interruptions. With cloudy skies expected, conditions could be favourable for swing bowlers.

East Delhi Riders and West Delhi Lions have faced each other two times in the Delhi Premier League, with the Riders winning on both occasions quite comfortably.

East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Betting Odds

West Delhi Lions to dominate the powerplay (Parimatch)

West Delhi Lions’ top three comprises the trio of Nitish Rana, Manan Bhardwaj, and Ayush Doseja, with Shubham Dubey to follow next. That is a formidable batting unit, one that tells you why batting upfront will be an easier task for them going forward. In the previous season of DPL, West Delhi Lions managed to score at a strike of 143 in the first six overs, hence, betting on them becomes a prudent move.

East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Best Batters

Anuj Rawat to be East Delhi Riders’ best batter (Parimatch)

Anuj Rawat was the fourth-highest run scorer in the DPL 2024 season and was the second-highest for the East Delhi Riders. He scored 356 runs in 10 games at an impressive average of 44.50. Rawat has also begun the DPL 2025 season in style, scoring 55 off just 35 balls against the Superstarz and helping his team win. It is an absolute no-brainer to bet on him.

Nitish Rana to be West Delhi Lions’ best batter (Parimatch)

Nitish Rana received a big payday from the West Delhi Lions and deservedly so because of the quality that he brings to the side with his presence. In 127 T20 innings, Rana has scored 3444 runs at a strike rate of 137.1 with 23 half-centuries and a hundred. He is a safe bet to begin with from the Lions.

East Delhi Riders vs West Delhi Lions Best Bowlers

Ashish Meena to be East Delhi Riders’ best bowler (Parimatch)

Ashish Meena was simply outstanding against the Superstarz as he picked up figures of 2/14 off his three overs. He broke the back of the Superstarz’s middle order by sending back both Anmol Sharma and Sumit Mathur within a span of three deliveries. He will be a great choice to place a bet on.

Ishant Sharma to be West Delhi Lions’ best bowler (Parimatch)

Ishant Sharma did not feature in the DPL 2024 season due to an injury. However, the veteran Indian pacer has bags of experience, and he is likely to bring that to the fore for the Lions. In 134 T20 innings, Ishant has picked up 118 wickets at an economy rate of 8.22. It will be sensible to bet on him as he can wreak havoc with the new ball.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

East Delhi Riders

East Delhi Riders hold a psychological edge, having beaten West Delhi Lions in both their encounters last season. With in-form batter Anuj Rawat leading the charge and the firepower of Mayank Rawat and Rohan Rathi in the lineup, the defending champions look well-equipped for another strong outing. Buoyed by the confidence of their last-ball victory in the previous game, the Riders will be favourites to make it three wins in a row against the Lions.
