North Delhi Strikers vs Central Delhi Kings Chance of Winning

North Delhi Strikers have retained their marquee player in Harshit Rana and the fast bowler will bring bags of experience with him, having played in the IPL and also internationally. The likes of Sarthak Ranjan and Vaibhav Kandpal add brute force in the batting department, thereby adding more muscle.

On the other hand, Central Delhi Kings will want to forget the underwhelming campaign that they had and made headlines in the DPL 2025 auction by bagging Simarjeet Singh for a whopping ₹39 lakh, making him the most expensive player. Yash Dhull will lead the young brigade in the team, and a lot will be dependent on him.

• NDS’s chance of winning is 55%
• CDK’s chance of winning is 45%

North Delhi Strikers vs Central Delhi Kings Betting Tips

There’s little debate when it comes to putting your money on Harshit Rana as he will once again be at the forefront when it comes to picking wickets and can also add valuable runs with the bat down the order. The highest wicket-taker in the previous DPL season, Simarjeet Singh, will be another safe pick, and he will look to better his outstanding tally of 18 wickets in the inaugural edition. Given the talent of Yash Dhull, taking a punt on him might be enticing in the opening game of his season.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

North Delhi Strikers

Bet on North Delhi Strikers to win the game against the Central Delhi Kings. They have already won both their previous encounters against the Kings and will have a psychological edge going into their clash. Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Kandpal give them a lot of explosiveness and depth in bowling and batting, respectively. Kings might be too overdependent on Simarjeet Singh, and that might come back to haunt them. So bet on the Strikers to emerge victorious.
