North Delhi Strikers were beaten by 7 wickets by Outer Delhi Warriors in game 28 of DPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Starting, NDS scored 193, where Vaibhav Kandpal scored 73 off 40 balls. But their middle order seemed to have missed the opportunity that was set by the openers due to lack of proper implementation. In response, ODW managed to hit the target in only 18 overs, using Priyansh Arya’s bright knock.

1. Lackluster Batting from NDS Middle Order

On a good batting pitch, NDS made only 193 all out in 20 overs, which was competitive but below expectations. Being supported by Vaibhav Kandpal (73 off 40), Sarthak Ranjan (34 off 35), and Arjun Rapria (33 off 19), three of them batted immaculately, but the rest of the side gave way. After 155/4 at 17 overs, they were going through the wickets in bunches and instead of driving the score beyond 200, they faded away with the last few balls.

2. Explosive Top Order by ODW, Anchored by Priyansh Arya

In just 30 balls, Priyansh Arya shaped a match-winning knock of 76; consistent with his clean striking, he put ODW comfortably ahead. Rishabh Drall (38 off 25) and Keshav Dabas (46* off 35) supported Arya well, through which he tore apart NDS’s bowling attack. By his attacking strategy, there was no pressure on the scoreboard; hence, ODW was able to stay in complete command of the pursuit.

3. Dominant Powerplay and Momentum Control by ODW

ODW made full use of the powerplay to go to 68/1, which was double the score that NDS had made when batting first. They were able to take the game momentum completely on their side because of that starting choice. Even after three wickets, the NDS bowlers’ run leak was going on as they were not able to stop the flow. It was a comfortable end to ODW’s pursuit at 194/3 in 18 overs, sealing a 7-wicket triumph.

Outer Delhi Warriors are struggling in this tournament, having won just one match and currently occupying the bottom position in the points table with three points. 

On the other hand, the North Delhi Strikers have won three out of their six matches and currently stand in fifth position in the points table with six points. They lost their last match by eight wickets against New Delhi Tigers.
