TEAMS PREVIEW
West Delhi Lions Preview
West Delhi Lions finished the league phase in third spot after winning four and losing three matches. They benefited from three washouts that gave them extra points to secure their playoff position.
Their batting and bowling departments have performed well throughout the tournament.
Krish Yadav has dominated with the bat, accumulating 309 runs across eight innings while maintaining a strike rate of 145 and notching three half-centuries. He appears ready to produce another 30-40 runs in the Eliminator.
Ayush Doseja sits second on the run charts with 241 runs from eight outings, hitting at 150.63.
Shubham Dubey and Manan Bhardwaj have spearheaded the bowling attack, claiming nine wickets apiece. Anirudh Chowdhary and Mayank Gusain have supported them well, taking 15 wickets between them. Skipper Nitish Rana hasn't delivered much yet, but the team will want bigger contributions from him in this important fixture.
West Delhi Lions Predicted Playing XI:
Vikas Rana, Krish Yadav (wk), Ayush Doseja, Nitish Rana (c), Mayank Gusain, Hrithik Shokeen, Ravneet Tanwar, Manan Bhardwaj, Shivank Vashisht, Anirudh Chowdhary, Shubham Dubey, Tishant Dabla Substitute: Rishabh Singh Rana

South Delhi Superstarz Preview
South Delhi Superstarz have enjoyed a decent campaign in this Delhi Premier League edition, collecting four victories to secure fourth place and book their playoff spot. This is a solid turnaround for the Superstarz, who opened with three straight losses before responding with four consecutive wins, interrupted by three washed-out fixtures.
Anmol Sharma has carried the batting burden for his side, accumulating 296 runs from nine knocks while striking at 157.45. He's crossed fifty on three occasions and should target at least 30 runs in this fixture.
Tejasvi Dahiya has matched that output, producing 279 runs from nine outings at a rapid 192.41 strike rate. The remaining batsmen have disappointed, though, with Ayush Badoni next on the list with just 113 runs from seven appearances. However, Badoni is now unavailable as he's featuring in the Duleep Trophy. So, should Anmol and Tejasvi fail to deliver, the Superstarz could find themselves in serious difficulty.
Sumit Kumar Beniwal has been their most effective bowler, picking up 12 scalps across eight games at an economy rate of 11.57. Aman Bharti and Abhishek Khandelwal have combined for 13 wickets, while Divansh Rawat has also grabbed five dismissals.
South Delhi Superstarz Predicted Playing XI:
Kunwar Bidhuri, Anmol Sharma, Tejasvi Dahiya (c & wk), Vision Panchal, Sumit Kumar Beniwal, Manish Sehrawat, Sumit Mathur, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Abhishek Khandelwal, Aman Bharti, Divansh Rawat Substitute: Gulzar Sandhu/ Ankur Kaushik

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Arun Jaitley Stadium has mostly been a batting paradise in the DPL, though there have been games where the surface slowed down and tested shot selection. Batters tend to find their rhythm once they spend time at the crease. Spinners have been effective in the middle overs and even at the death, especially those who maintain tight lines. Pacers can also make an impact by varying their pace and using their fingers to generate extra grip.
Cloudy skies are expected in Delhi, with thunderstorms potentially rolling in as the day goes on.

Minimal Turn
The Arun Jaitley Stadium usually sees first-innings scores around the 170 mark, but this season has been a mixed bag. There have been high-scoring thrillers with teams clearing 200, as well as low-scoring nail-biters. The nature of the pitch this time is anyone’s guess. That said, a total of 190 to 200 will likely be needed to truly challenge the chasing side. Recent games indicate that par could be on the higher side.
Toss: To Bowl
In the last six matches of the 2025 DPL at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, toss-winning skippers have all opted to field. The same tactic will likely be used once more in this contest.
WDL vs SD
Winning Prediction
West Delhi Lions and South Delhi Superstarz both had the same number of wins and losses at the end of the league stage, so they enter the playoffs in a fairly even match. This could go either way, but West Delhi just have better balance overall as compared to South Delhi, who are majorly dependent on a couple of batters. We give West Delhi Lions a 51-49 edge in this Eliminator
West Delhi Lions are our picks for the winners of this clash.
