PD6 vs WDL, Preview: Purani Delhi 6 to take on West Delhi Lions in 10th DPL 2025 game

After securing two consecutive wins in their first two matches, the West Delhi Lions will take on Purani Delhi 6 in their next assignment in the tournament’s current edition. In their campaign opener against the East Delhi Riders, Nitish Rana’s men secured a big seven-wicket win in a high-scoring affair as they comfortably chased down the 209-run target, scoring 214/3 in just 17.3 overs. Ayush Doseja crafted this victory for the Lions with his swashbuckling knock of 84 runs off just 48 balls, with 10 fours and two sixes. Later in their second game, Nitish Rana’s men executed another outstanding run chase; this time, the openers, Krish Yadav and Ankit Kumar, led the chase with their heroics. Ankit smashed 96 (46), alongside Yadav’s 67 (42), to help WDL score 189/2 in just 15.4 overs and chase down the 186-run target with 4.2 overs to spare. Now, they will be eyeing winning their third game in a row to move to the top of the points table.

On the other hand, Purani Delhi 6 had a horrific start to their DPL 2025 campaign, facing a massive 82-run defeat against Outer Delhi Warriors in their first game. Purani Delhi 6 were bundled out at the score of just 66 runs in 14.3 overs while chasing the target of 145 runs posted by the Warriors. PD6 batters were trapped in the spin web of star ODW spinner Suyash Sharma. The Vansh Bedi-led side will look forward to forgetting their horrific defeat with a win against the Lions in this game.
