New Delhi Tigers’ DPL 2025 campaign started with a 40-run win against the Outer Delhi Warriors in their first game. Following that, the Tigers went through miserable outings, facing five consecutive defeats. It started with a huge nine-wicket defeat against the Central Delhi Kings in their second game, followed by a seven-wicket defeat against the East Delhi Riders. Later, they lost to the Purani Delhi 6 by 10 runs before losing to the South Delhi Superstarz by three wickets. After that, they lost to West Delhi Lions by 15 runs in a rain-affected game. Furthermore, they made a brilliant comeback with two wins against West Delhi Lions and Outer Delhi Warriors by the margins of eight and seven wickets, respectively. Now, they will be eyeing winning this game and moving into the ‘top four’ spots in the tournament standings.
On the other hand, the Central Delhi Kings have been one of the most successful teams in the tournament’s current edition. They started their campaign with three wins in a row against North Delhi Strikers, New Delhi Tigers, and South Delhi Superstarz by a margin of eight wickets and nine wickets each in the next two games. Their game against Outer Delhi Warriors was abandoned due to rain, followed by a 12-run win against the same opponent. Later, they defeated the Strikers again by 15 runs in a 16-over game. However, they faced their first defeat in the tournament, which came against West Delhi Lions by a narrow margin of three runs. Now, a win in this game will propel them to the top spot in the standings.

North Delhi Tigers and Central Delhi Kings have faced each other in one game in the ongoing DPL 2025. It was the fifth match of the tournament, in which the Kings registered a massive victory by a huge margin of nine wickets.
The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is a typical flat one, helping the batters in the second half of the game. The chasing side has won more games compared to the team batting first in the ongoing DPL 2025. So, the toss-winning skipper might opt to bowl first and chase the target in batting-friendly conditions.
The weather in Delhi on Sunday is expected to be a bit cloudy, with the temperature hovering around 30 degrees Celsius. The dew factor might also come into play as the game progresses to the second innings.
New Delhi Tigers are coming off a seven-wicket win against Outer Delhi Warriors, while the Central Kings faced a narrow three-run defeat against the West Delhi Lions. So, both teams are likely to go ahead with the unchanged playing XI in this game.
NDT Probable XI: Shivam Gupta(w), Lakshay Thareja, Himmat Singh(c), Dhruv Kaushik, Deepak Punia, Parth Bali, Pankaj Jaswal, Prince Yadav, Rahul Chaudhary, Aatrey Tripathi, and Pradyuman Sanan.
