The New Delhi Tigers (NDT) will play against the North Delhi Strikers (NDS) in Match 26 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, on Monday, August 18, at 7:00 PM IST. NDT are currently having a disaster season and are at the last spot on the table with only one victory to their account. Thus, after losing their last five consecutive matches, they are obliged to win this game to continue their tournament journey.

On the other hand, the North Delhi Strikers have been relatively better and have won three matches to be at the fourth position on the points table. They lost their last match against the Central Delhi Kings and therefore they will be eager to come back strong and get more points to be in the race for the playoffs. As both teams are in need of points, this match is likely to be a thrilling encounter of high stakes.

NDT vs NDS: Head-to-Head

As this is the first DPL meeting between the New Delhi Tigers and the North Delhi Strikers, the head-to-head record stands at 0-0.

NDT vs NDS: Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has generally been a batter-friendly surface, with shorter boundaries helping to free the flow of bigger strokes. As such, to contain the scoring rate, bowlers must rely on line and length, as one misstep in either direction will be costly. In general, we will see toss-winners bat first and set a large total.
