The Central Delhi Kings won Match 20 of the DPL 2025 against the Outer Delhi Warriors by 12 runs and managed to remain unbeaten. CDK made a good score of 161/8 in their 20 overs innings with a firepower of 41 runs that came off 28 balls from Aditya Bhandari. Apart from Bhandari, Siddharth Joon (32) and Jonty Sidhu (29*) played well too. Despite good spells from Siddhant Sharma (3/33) and Shivam Sharma (2/21), the Kings set a competitive total. In reply, ODW managed 149/8, with Keshav Dabas scoring a fighting 64 off 45 balls. However, disciplined bowling from CDK’s attack ensured the Warriors fell short. Here are the main reasons why the Outer Delhi Warriors lost the match:

1. Lack of Partnerships

The rest of the batsmen were not able to provide much-needed support to Keshav Dabas, who scored an effortless 64. No one else could stay long to form important partnerships, so ODW found themselves chasing in isolation rather than as a unit.

2. CDK’s Tight Bowling Under Pressure

The Kings' bowling unit performed as one under the guidance of Simarjeet Singh (2/27), Money Grewal (2/28), and Pranshu Vijayran (2/37). By cutting off the opponents' runs via singles and doubles and getting timely wickets, they kept the chasing side below the required run rate throughout the match.

3. Middle-Order Power Hitting by CDK

Their good contributions from Aditya Bhandari, Siddharth Joon, and Jonty Sidhu gave necessary runs in the middle overs and thus allowed CDK to take their total beyond 160. Given the pitch conditions, it turned out to be the deciding factor in the match, which ensured that the victory was not easy to be achieved by the opponents.

Going into the 20th match of the Delhi Premier League 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, on August 12 from 2 pm onwards, the Outer Delhi Warriors are all set to face off against the unvanquished Central Delhi Kings. Central Delhi, under the captaincy of Jonty Sidhu, has been unstoppable till now in the season, having won all their matches. Their decision will be to add on to their winning streak and also to take up the command on the points table by a good margin.

Sidhant Sharma led Outer Delhi Warriors, including IPL 2025 breakout star Priyansh Arya, have not been able to perform as expected and have managed just one victory out of their 5 games. To create trouble for the Central Delhi Kings in their impressive form, they will have to completely turn their fortunes around. A positive start to the game by their top order and tight bowling will be crucial if they want to upset the tournament favorites.

ODW vs CDK: 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.
