DPL 2025 Match 19: NDS vs WDL head-to-head, pitch report & predicted playing XIs

North Delhi Strikers (NDS) will meet again West Delhi Lions (WDL) in Match 19 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, on Monday, August 11. NDS, led by Harshit Rana, have regained their winning form after their opener loss by securing consecutive victories over Outer Delhi Warriors and Purani Dilli 6. The Strikers, with Deepanshu Gulia’s three-wicket haul and solid all-round bowling, are at the top of their game and will try to continue their winning streak.

West Delhi Lions, led by Nitish Rana, have started the season with two comfortable wins but have lost their last game against Purani Dilli 6. The WDL players, Ayush Doseja’s batting and Anirudh Chowdhary’s bowling, were steady work but they fell short in chasing 187 and will definitely look forward to regaining their form. Both teams vying for a top-four place, the encounter will be an intense one.

NDS vs WDL: Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is likely to favor those batters who play shots. Boundary sizes being shorter, bowlers—especially pace bowlers—will have to be very accurate, especially in the death overs, where the game can change fast. The surface gives very little help to bowlers, so defending totals can be tough.
