Pitch Report:

Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St. Lucia, has typically been a good batting wicket, with good bounce and a quick outfield for playing shots.

Spinners will probably come into the game in the middle overs as the pitch starts to slow up a little. Historically, Warner Park has been a high-scoring ground, so teams might have a strong preference for chasing here based on their experience.

Oval Invincibles (OVI) will face off against Trent Rockets (TRT) in the grand finale of The Hundred Men's 2025 on Saturday, August 31, at the renowned Lord's in London. With history and glory at stake, both sides will be keen to lift the trophy they so desire.

The Invincibles won in 2023 and 2024, and now shoot for a historic hat trick of titles. In the group stage, the Invincibles won six of their eight matches to comfortably secure qualification for the final by finishing top of the group. Trent Rockets finished second and also secured a final place as the Eliminator was canceled against Northern Superchargers due to rain and they progressed because of their better league position.

OVI vs TRT: Head-to-Head Record

The Oval Invincibles have a slight edge over the Rockets in their historical matches against each other, having won three of their five previous matches.

  • Matches Played – 5
  • OVI Wins – 3
  • TRT Wins – 2
  • Tied – 0

OVI vs TRT: Pitch Report

The Lord's pitch is predicted to be batting-friendly, with anything above a score of 160 considered a respectable score in this format. Generally, the chasing team is favored at Lord's—especially at night. For this reason, the toss-winning captain will more likely want to bowl first to try and contain their opposition and chase comfortably.

The Final of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 is upon us, on Sunday, August 31, Central Delhi Kings vs. West Delhi Lions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, at 7:00 PM IST. Both teams are looking for their first DPL title so this is a so-called blockbuster finale to conclude a thrilling season.

Central Delhi Kings earned their spot in the grand finale after outclassing East Delhi Riders in a rain-affected Qualifier 1. With a few days of rest and preparation, Jonty Sidhu’s side will aim to replicate their composed performances and clinch the championship. West Delhi Lions, however, have taken the tougher path, completing a tough Eliminator victory against South Delhi Superstarz before overcoming the fearsome competitor East Delhi Riders in Qualifier 2. Having that game behind them, full of belief and form, WDL will be hoping they can still get this fairy tale story and lift the trophy!

CDK vs WDL: Head-to-head record

  • Matches played: 03
  • CDK wins: 02
  • WDL wins: 01
  • Tied/No Result: 00

While CDK has the advantage in their previous meetings, WDL has shown in the past that they can rise to the occasion at crucial moments in knockout games.

CDK vs WDL: Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has certainly had plenty of runs during the knockout matches this year, and chasing sides have been victorious in all three matches so far. The surface allows a bit of balance, with help for bowlers, but batters have mostly dictated the temper. The team that wins the toss will probably want to bowl first, but the pressure of the final could potentially influence the decision, based on conditions of the surface at the time of starting.

Qualifier 2 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 will pit East Delhi Riders (EDR) against West Delhi Lions (WDL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, on Saturday, August 30, at 7:00 PM IST. The winner will go on to face Central Delhi Kings in the grand final on Sunday.

EDR had a strong league stage and ended the league stage higher than WDL. Although they lost to the Central Delhi Kings in Qualifier 1, they played consistently well throughout the season and should approach the contest with some belief and confidence. On the other hand, Nitish Rana’s WDL, who finished third in the table, are coming off a commanding win against South Delhi Superstarz in the Eliminator. They will rely on their skipper’s match-winning form to clear one final hurdle before the summit clash.

EDR vs CDK: Head-to-Head Record

  • Matches: 04
  • EDR Won: 03
  • WDL Won: 01
  • Tied/No Result: 00

EDR does have the historical advantage of beating WDL three times in four games against each other.

EDR vs WDL: Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has seen plenty of high-scoring games this season; however, bowlers, particularly pacers, have found some help with pace and bounce. Batting first, like the previous matches this season, teams may be able to get more of their runs on the board, as chasing is that much tougher when the pace and carry are lost in the surface after a certain point in the match. Expect another even battle between bat and ball.
