Here we are with our analysis of the Tamil Nadu vs Delhi Elite Group B Ranji Trophy Match
Tamil Nadu vs Delhi Chance of Winning
Both teams are equally strong and have performed well in the previous matches of this edition. Tamil Nadu lost their previous match against Andhra while Delhi ended their match with a draw against Assam.
However, Tamil Nadu will now be playing against Delhi at their home ground and will have a tough time winning on their pitch. Their batting performance needs to improve if they wish to win against Delhi.
While both the teams look in excellent touch, we lean more towards Delhi with a 60/40 chance to win the game given the overall form.
Our Prediction
7 times champions Delhi has an advantage over Tamil Nadu given their current performance and past performances in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23. Moreover, Delhi is playing in their backyard, and Tamil Nadu won’t be able to take home advantage at this pitch.
Our prediction - Delhi to win the upcoming game.

Tamil Nadu looked in fine touch in the first match of this season. They performed well and won the first innings points against Hyderabad. Tamil Nadu will look forward to registering its first win in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23.

After an intense four-day play we expect Delhi to outright win this match. If Delhi bats first, we expect the first-innings score to be over 350. If Tamil Nadu bats first, the first innings score is expected to be around 280-320.

Tamil Nadu Team Form
Tamil Nadu will be led by Baba Aparajith. Washington Sundar who represents India in ODI and T201 is one of the players to watch out for in this Tamil Nadu Team. Washington Sundar played a fine inning in the second innings of the previous match against Andhra Pradesh by 65 runs in the run chase and also picked up 2 wickets for his team. Skipper Baba Aparajith will also be responsible for leading the batting charge.
Sandeep Warrier and Sai Kishore are expected to lead the bowling attack for Tamil Nadu.
While the team is performing well in the shorter format, they had a terrible run in the Ranji Trophy last time. Tamil Nadu needs to level up its game if they want to compete against Delhi, Mumbai, Andhra Pradesh and other group teams.
Delhi Player List
Delhi Squad - Himmat Singh (vice-captain), Dhruv Shorey, Anuj Rawat (W.K), Vaibhav Rawal, Lalit Yadav, Nitish Rana, Ayush Badoni, Hrithik Shokeen, Shivank Vashisht, Vikas Mishra, Jonty Sidhu, Ishant Sharma, Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Simarjeet Singh, Lakshay Thareja (wk), Pranshu Vijayan, Yash Dhull (captain)
Delhi Predicted Playing XI
Shikhar Dhawan is not in the Delhi squad anymore and Delhi has appointed the youngster Yash Dhull as their captain. Dhruv Shorey and Anuj Rawat led their team from the front in the previous match and will hope to do the same in the upcoming fixture.

Delhi Team Form
Delhi’s performance in the past matches in the Vijay Hazare trophy is what we don’t expect from them. They won only one match out of their last 5 games in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and also lost their first match against Maharashtra. They redeemed themselves in the previous game against Assam but a draw is not enough in the Group with the likes of Mumbai and Maharashtra.
Tamil Nadu vs Delhi Betting Odds
After assessing the team's form and possible scenarios, the odds in favour of Tamil Nadu to win the game is 1.85, while for Delhi it's 1.85. These betting odds have been calculated based on the team's performance in the previous matches, players’ records, pitch and other factors.
Tamil Nadu vs Delhi Top Team Batsman
Delhi captain, Yash Dhull, has averaged 35 plus across his last five innings. He scored 97 runs in both innings of the previous match. His consistency is incredible and we are backing him to be Delhi’s highest run scorer in the upcoming fixture.
Sai Sudharshan was the highest run-scorer in the second match. He was sublime, and Tamil Nadu will expect him to continue the momentum in the third match.
Tamil Nadu vs Delhi Top Team Bowlers
The skilled right-arm fast medium, Simarjeet Singh is our top bowler pick for Delhi in this match.
Sandeep Warrier was the highest wicket-taker in the previous match for Tamil Nadu. We expect him to scalp more than 5 wickets in this game.
