DPL 2026: Match 35, NDT vs WDL Match Prediction – Who will win today’s DPL match between New Delhi Tigers vs West Delhi Lions?

New Delhi Tigers (NDT) will take on West Delhi Lions (WDL) in Match 35 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday, August 19.

This is a reverse fixture, with the two teams having met in Match 3 of the season, where the Lions won by 19 runs. They defended a total of 171, bowling the Tigers out for 150, despite a lower-order recovery. The Lions will be looking to extend their streak, while the Tigers will be looking for redemption from the season.

The Tigers find themselves at the bottom of the table, having won just one match from eight. They have also lost six and will be playing for pride in the final two matches of the season. The Lions, defending champions from last season, have also had a tumultuous 2026, managing three wins and four losses in eight matches.

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi is regarded as one of the most batting-friendly venues in the country. The wicket is often flat and offers consistent bounce, allowing batters to play their shots on the up. Bowlers can get help from the new ball in the form of early lateral movement, and from spinners in grip and turn. These factors, however, are negated by the shorter boundaries. The tournament has seen a sizeable number of high-scoring matches despite the impacts of rain. With this being an evening game, the effect of dew is also expected to be prominent.

Atulya Pandey, Dev Chaudhary, Keshav Dalal Singh (wk), Himmat Singh (c), Vaibhav Rawal, Lakshay Thareja, Hrithik Shokeen, Manish Sehrawat, Revant Rakyan, Yashjeet, Pradyuman Sanan

Strikers captain Himmat Singh has been one of the most prolific batters in the competition. The right-hander has scored 264 runs in seven innings, striking at a remarkable 184.62. He will be looking to lead his team from the front with a solid performance with the bat.

Seam bowler Mayank Gusain has been a prolific bowler for the Lions, picking up nine wickets in seven matches, and has kept the scoring rate in check with an economy rate of 7.22. He will be looking to add more wickets to his tally.
