DLI vs VDB Team Previews
Delhi
Delhi is one of the most consistent teams in this edition of the SMAT and is the only team that is yet to be defeated. They topped the Group E table with 22 points.
Priyansh Arya and Anuj Rawat are likely to open the batting for Delhi in this match. While both of them have done a decent job so far, the team will look for a strong start from them. Yash Dhull has led his team from the front by scoring runs consistently and will be a vital cog in the middle order.
In addition, some quality batsmen are playing for Delhi, including Ayush Badoni and Lalit Yadav. Coming to the bowling, Suyash Sharma is the top bowler with 15 wickets.
However, the other bowlers have lacked the bite. Harshit Rana, Hrithik Shokeen, and Navdeep Saini have managed to pick just 3 wickets each.

Vidarbha
Despite losing the last two matches, Vidharbha topped the Group D table and will now try and turn things around in this knockout match.
Skipper Atharva Taide has been in brilliant form, scoring 273 runs, and is also the leading run-getter for the team. He will look to give the team a brisk start as he joins Dhruv Shorey at the top of the order. Karun Nair, coming in at number 3, has scored 2 half-centuries in his last 4 innings and appears to be in fine touch.
The middle order consists of Jitesh Sharma and Shubham Dubey. Vidharbha will need a strong performance from at least one of them if they want to reach a big total. With Umesh Yadav leading the way, the seamers have done a good job. Yadav, Darshan Nalkande, and Dipesh Parwani have picked up 22 wickets between them.
In the spin department, Akshay Karnewar has picked up 8 wickets while Aditya Sarwate has picked up 4.

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Mullanpur offers plenty of opportunities for the batsmen to score runs. The ground has hosted some high-scoring encounters this season and we can expect another run-fest.
The team batting first will look to get as close to 200 as possible to put the opposition under pressure. However, as the match progresses, the surface does get a bit slow.
The weather is expected to remain clear with temperatures in the mid-20s.
DLI vs VDB Betting Tips
While Delhi has remained unbeaten so far, their success is largely based on the performances of a handful of individuals. The bowling is a particularly weak point and can cost them dearly on the batsmen-friendly wicket. On the other hand, Vidharbha has a good balance with plenty of players in good form.
Ber on Vidarbha to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Atharva Taide is the leading run-scorer for Vidarbha and is averaging 45.50. He has scored at least 30 runs in each of his last 5 innings and we are backing him to put up another good performance.
Except for Suyash Sharma, none of the bowlers from Delhi have been consistent. On the other hand, Vidharbha has quite a few in-form bowlers in both, the spin and the seam department. We are therefore backing Vidarbha to have the top bowler for this match.
