CDK vs SD Match Prediction & Analysis
Two of the most prolific teams will lock horns in Qualifier 1 of the Delhi Premier League 2026 in search of a direct spot in the Final. Both Central Delhi Kings and South Delhi Superstarz are coming into this match with 5 consecutive wins.
Central Delhi Kings have finished at the top of the points table with 9 wins from 10 matches. They have been leagues ahead of other teams in this tournament. Their only loss in the season was followed by a 5-game winning streak.
Their ability to bounce back quickly makes them a formidable team. After their batting collapse against EDR, the Kings turned things around quickly with a 232-run first-innings total in the next match against WDL.
The big question for South Delhi Superstarz is whether star player Ayush Badoni will return for the knockout game. He is a key figure in the top order. Along with Badoni, opening batter Sanat Sangwan also missed out on the last game, while his opening partner Anmol Sharma continued his form and scored yet another fifty.
There is plenty of batting in the SDS lineup with Ekansh Dobal and Ankit Dabas stepping up when needed in the lower middle order. This game promises to be a neck-and-neck contest with no clear winner.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Central Delhi Kings Preview
Jonty Sidhu took over the captaincy from Yash Dhull in the last game. He did something no other captain has done so far this season. He won the toss and opted to bat first. And then the batters went out to set the biggest first-innings total of the season.
Central Delhi Kings finished with 232 for 8 without a single batter reaching his fifty. Money Grewal was the top batter for the Kings with 42 off 16 balls at number 6.
The batting depth had come in handy in the previous match when Aditya Bhandari’s fifty at number 6 along with Vansh Bedi’s strong finish at number 8 took the score from 80 for 5 to 179 all-out.
The openers’ return to form is great news for the Kings. Samarth Singh replaced Yash Dhull and delivered a strong start right off the bat. Singh, Siddarth Joon, and Yugal Saini are the big guns in the top 4 who can deliver game-changing knocks for the Kings.
In the bowling attack, there are plenty of options. Money Grewal, Keshav Dabas, Gavnish Khurana, and Tejas Baroka are the proven match-winners with the ball. It was Khurana’s 3-fer against EDR that helped CDK defend a 179-run total.
Baroka’s 2 for 17 was the standout performance against NDS when the Kings restricted them to 150 for 9, bowling first. Keshav Dabas is also handy with the bat and will be crucial at number 5 following Jonty Sidhu.
Interesting Stats
Sidhu has scored 19 off 10 and 42 off 28 in his last two innings in the middle order
Aditya Bhandari scored 63 off 29 while Vansh Bedi finished with 27 off 14 as they led the comeback against EDR
Siddharth Joon has hit 12 sixes in his last 3 innings, one of which had him out for a duck
Central Delhi Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Samarth Singh, Siddharth Joon (wk), Yugal Saini, Jonty Sidhu (c), Vansh Bedi, Keshav Dabas, Jasvir Sehrawat, Money Grewal, Tejas Baroka, Gavnish Khurana, Yatish Singh

South Delhi Superstarz Preview
If Ayush Badoni and Sanat Sangwan join the Superstarz for Qualifier 1, they will be unstoppable. Before missing out on the last match, Badoni had led the Superstarz to a 4-wicket win with his 90-run knock while chasing 208 against NDS.
And while Sangwan was out for 21 off 9 deliveries in that game, he stayed unbeaten on 111 in the match before that. Add to this mix the in-form Anmol Sharma, who just scored his 2nd fifty in the last 3 matches, and you have the best top-order of the Delhi Premier League 2026.
If the Kings don’t pick early wickets, these 3 Superstarz can take the game away from the table-toppers. And if SDS lose a couple of early wickets, they still have the stand-in captain from the last match, Tejasvi Dahiya, at number 4, who has been in fine rhythm lately.
The batting order goes deep with Pranshu Vijayaran, Ekansh Dobal, Ankit Dabas, and Pranav Pant, who opened the innings in the last game and scored 20 off 14 balls. Dabas scored 18 off 5 and 26 off 10 in his last two outings at 6 and 8 respectively.
There is great variety in the bowling attack, with Anshuman Hooda being one of the match-winners to watch. Ankit Dabas and Divansh Rawat are the in-form bowlers with back-to-back impactful performances in the last two wins.
Interesting Stats
Dabas has delivered 2 for 16 and 2 for 18 in his last two innings, bowling a complete 4 overs on each occasion.
Tejasvi Dahiya scored 60 off 29 balls while leading the team as skipper, successfully chasing a target of 218 against NDT.
Ekansh Dobal’s 38 off 18 balls at number 5 in the last match was a game-changing knock
South Delhi Superstarz Predicted Playing XI:
Anmol Sharma, Sanat Sangwan, Ayush Badoni (c), Tejasvi Dahiya (wk), Ekansh Dobal, Pranshu Vijayran, Ankit Dabas, Divansh Rawat, Anshuman Hooda, Vivek Tiwari, Aman Bharti

Minimal Turn
It is a batting paradise at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. No score is safe here. Central Delhi Kings chased down 222 runs against SDS earlier in the league stage, which puts enormous pressure on the team batting first against the Kings. The average first innings score in the last 5 matches played here is 179 runs. There were a few low-scoring games recently, but overall, there is plenty of help on offer for the batters, and the team batting first in this match should aim for 210+ runs to be in a competitive position.
Toss: To Bowl
Even though Sidhu opted to bat first in the last game and led his team to victory, bowling first remains the popular choice among captains winning the toss in the Delhi Premier League 2026. The results have been on an even keel, with the team batting first and second winning 5 matches each in the last 10 outings here. On any other ground, it would make sense to bat first in a knockout match, but at this venue, where teams have chased down 204, 208, 210, 218, and 222, bowling first will be the ideal choice in this match.
CDK vs SD
Winning Prediction
It will be a close contest between the two teams. Most games have been decided by the toss. This won’t be that match. No matter who wins the toss and bowls first, the winner will not be decided until the very end of the second innings. Both teams have successfully chased down 210+ run totals and also scored big while batting first. Both teams have depth in the batting lineup and have the winning momentum on their side. However, Central Delhi Kings have a slightly better bowling attack, which puts them ahead in our match prediction. They will have a slight edge going into this match and will start as our favourites to win.
