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.

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.
