North Delhi Strikers lost to Central Delhi Kings by a narrow 15 runs in Match 24 of DPL 2025. Batting first, CDK scored 197/7 in 16 overs with a commendable century from Yash Dhull (105 off 51) and an explosive 63 off 28 from Yugal Saini. NDS gave a good fight with Sarthak Ranjan (52 off 26) and Arnav Bugga (43 off 13) banging runs at lightning speed but could not keep up with the steep asking rate and ended up chasing 182/9 in 16 overs as CDK bowlers got important breakthroughs. Here are the main reasons why the North Delhi Strikers lost the match:

1. Dhull and Saini’s explosive partnership

Yash Dhull's perfect 105 and Yugal Saini's blazing 63 were the major contributions to CDK's innings. In a short game, they combined to a total that was more than NDS could reach if they wanted to win. Their dominance with the bat tilted the balance heavily towards CDK.

2. Timely wickets from CDK’s bowlers

ND Strikers were really close to their target till the middle of the innings, but the bowlers of CDK Arjun Rapria (3/30) and Harshit Rana (3/35), made the difference. They took wickets at the right moment to stop the stage of the game. Besides Tejas Baroka, Simarjeet Singh also took part in the game by getting the wickets.

3. Strikers’ middle-order failure

Despite a blazing start from Ranjan and Bugga, NDS’s middle order failed to continue the charge. Vaibhav Kandpal’s 34 was the only other notable contribution as wickets fell regularly. The scoreboard pressure mounted, and they eventually fell short of the target.

Central Delhi Kings had an excellent tournament so far, winning four out of their five matches and currently hold the second position in the points table with nine points. They won their last match by 12 runs against Outer Delhi Warriors, successfully defended the target of 162 runs.
