NCL T10 2025: Match 1, DL vs ATL Match Prediction – Who will win today’s NCL T10 match between DL vs ATL?

The season-opening clash of the National Cricket League 2025 will be played between Dallas Lonestars CC and Atlanta Kings CC at the University of Texas at Dallas on Saturday, October 4.

The Dallas-based franchise finished last season after winning just two out of the five contests in the league phase. However, one of their wins came against Atlanta, and they would look to carry that confidence in the new season.

Meanwhile, Atlanta Kings CC, who were the runners-up of the 2024 edition, had an impressive debut in the tournament during the first season. They fought hard in the tournament, but ultimately fell short in the final. They will be aiming at getting off to a good start this year.

Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Kyle Mayers

Dallas' opener Kyle Mayers could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Atlanta Kings. The southpaw hasn't been getting runs off late, but with his caliber and talent, he needs just one inning to get back to form. The upcoming tournament will be a good platform for him to get some runs off his bat.

Probable Best Bowler: Andre Russell

Atlanta Kings' all-rounder Andre Russell could be the best bowler in his team's forthcoming game against Dallas Lonestars CC. The West Indian will need to take the bulk of responsibility with the ball and pick wickets in regular intervals. With the ability to bowl in different phases of the game, Russell will be important for his team.
