Central Delhi Kings vs West Delhi Lions Chance of Winning

Central Delhi Kings topped the points table and also won the first qualifier to make it to the final of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025. They will miss their leading run-scorer, Yash Dhull, in the final as well and the team will expect that Aaryavir Sehwag steps up opening the innings. The Kings have all the momentum with them and having topped the table, they will be hoping to lift the title as well.

West Delhi Lions have the winning momentum, having won two matches in as many days and they can make it a hat-trick of wins and end up lifting the DPL trophy in three days. The team led by Nitish Rana got the better of South Delhi Superstarz and East Delhi Riders in their last two outings and will be keen on arguably the best team of the season as well. However, the entire team will have to step up for them to go past the Kings.

  • West Delhi Lions' chances of winning - 45%
  • Central Delhi Kings’ chances of winning - 55%

Central Delhi Kings vs West Delhi Lions Betting Odds

West Delhi Lions to have a better opening partnership than Central Delhi Kings

Krish Yadav and Ankit Kumar open the innings for West Delhi Lions and the duo has been doing the job for almost the entire season. On the other hand, the Kings will miss their in-form opener Yash Dhull, due to his involvement in the Duleep Trophy. Aaryavir Sehwag opens the innings with Aryan Rana for them. With the change coming at the top of the order at the last moment for the Kings, West Delhi Lions openers are expected to have a better opening partnership.

Central Delhi Kings vs West Delhi Lions Top Batters

Nitish Rana to be West Delhi Lions’s top batter

West Delhi Lions’ skipper Nitish Rana has found his mojo just at the right time. He scored 134 and 45 runs in the last two outings and has overall scored 314 runs in 10 innings so far. Rana has led from the front for the Lions and hence, while batting at four, he is expected to be the top batter for them.

Yugal Saini to be Central Delhi Kings's top batter

Yugal Saini will have to step up for the Central Delhi Kings in the final of DPL 2025 in the absence of Yash Dhull. Saini scored only eight runs off nine balls in the previous game but overall, he has amassed 248 runs in 10 innings and can play a massive rule in the summit clash. Hence, Saini can be expected to be the top batter for the Central Delhi Kings.

Central Delhi Kings vs West Delhi Lions Top Bowlers

Manan Bhardwaj to be West Delhi Lions’s top bowler

Manan Bhardwaj was the sixth bowler to be introduced in the second qualifier. However, he returned with brilliant figures of 3/22 in his four overs and will be keen on playing a similar role in the middle overs for the Lions. Bhardwaj’s spell will most likely decide the direction of the match in the final. Hence, Bhardwaj is expected to be the top bowler for West Delhi Lions.

Simarjeet Singh to be Central Delhi Kings's top bowler

Simarjeet Singh is one of the two bowlers to pick five-wicket hauls for Central Delhi Kings in the last two matches. He made the new ball talk in the previous game to return with figures of 5/23 in three overs. Overall, Simarjeet has picked up 18 wickets so far in 10 matches and is the third highest wicket-taker of the season. Hence, Simarjeet is expected to be the top bowler for the Kings.
