DLI vs TND Match Preview
Delhi is going into this match after having played out a tame draw in their last encounter. This was a flat surface where both teams scored big totals in the first innings. The Delhi side is being led by Yash Dhull. Dhruv Shorey has made a good beginning to the season as well. His opening wicket partner is Anuj Rawat who is more of a big hitter and averages close to 30. The Delhi middle order is not as solid as their top order and can prove to be brittle against quality bowling attacks. There are some concerns about the balance of their bowling attack as well.
Tamil Nadu is going into this game after losing a closely-fought thriller against Andhra Pradesh. Tamil Nadu ended up on the losing side by a slender margin of 8 runs. The Tamil Nadu team developed a good lead of 48 runs in their first innings with Sai Sudarshan scoring a hundred. But during the second innings when Tamil Nadu required 203 runs to win the game they fell short by just 8 runs in their chase. Tamil Nadu was 155 for 3 at one moment but the dismissal of Baba Indrajith triggered a big collapse as the Tamil Nadu outfit lost 7 wickets for 39 runs. But their batting lineup looks good with the top-order batters looking good.
