North Delhi Strikers have dropped to 5th in the points table after 3 consecutive losses. A win is essential for the Strikers to turn things around and get into the top 4 before it’s too late. The Superstarz are 4th in the table with 9 points, and a win here would take them to 11 points, which is even farther from NDS.
South Delhi are on a roll with 3 wins on the trot. Their batting has only improved with every game as they chased down 171 with 10 wickets in hand and 28 balls to spare in their recent match. While Anmol Sharma continued his form, Sanat Sangwan delivered a match-winning hundred to see the Superstarz home.
North Delhi, on the other hand, are struggling with the ball. They have been very expensive in their recent outings, conceding 211 runs in the last match and losing by 8 wickets in the game before that. With just two games left in their DPL 2026 campaign, a win is a must for the Strikers to stay alive in the race to the playoffs.

North Delhi Strikers must find a way to bounce back strongly. Despite winning the toss in the last match, they failed to capitalise on the advantage and ended up conceding 211 runs bowling first. Anything beyond 195 runs is a very challenging ask even on this belter of a wicket, and 211 is an almost perfect first innings total.
Mayank Dagar’s poor run of form with the ball is a big concern for the Strikers. While Ajay Yadav and Arjun Raparia are other key wicket-takers in the squad, they haven’t been very consistent and are far from being game-changers with the ball.
Vikas Dixit was replaced by Pranit Tiwari in the last game. It made sense to replace him despite Dixit being their top wicket-taker in the season, given his current form. However, Tiwari couldn’t do any better and finished wicketless.
Opening batter Vaibhav Kandpal is a handy bowling option. Though he has picked up just 3 wickets so far, he has the third-best economy in the tournament.
Skipper Sarthak Ranjan is back in form with a strong performance in the last outing. Yash Dabas and Yash Bhatia also made a comeback, but it wasn’t enough in the run chase. NDS made some major changes to the batting order, bringing Dabas and Bhatia into the top 4 while sending Kandpal down to number 4.
Sarthak Ranjan scored 78 off 51 in the last game, becoming the top batter in DPL 2026, amassing a total of 428 runs in 7 innings at 61.14 average

South Delhi Superstarz secured their biggest win of the season in the last match, beating West Delhi Lions by 10 wickets. It was the first time in the Delhi Premier League 2026 that a team chased down a total without losing a wicket.
Sanat Sangwan, who had looked very promising in his recent outings, finally converted his start into something bigger alongside his opening partner Anmol Sharma as the two scored an unbeaten 171-run partnership in 92 balls.
Sangwan scored at a 200+ strike rate against almost every bowler. SDS packs a strong punch in the batting lineup with the likes of Ayush Badoni and Tejasvi Dahiya in the middle order. Both have been in good touch and will be ones to watch in this game.
While Dahiya hasn’t scored plenty of runs, he boasts an impressive strike rate and an average of 38.25. In the bowling attack, Anshuman Hooda is the promising wicket-taker who’s delivered a match-winning spell in two of the last 3 matches for the Superstarz.
Ankit Dabas is another key bowler to watch out for. He hasn’t been wicketless once in the last 3 outings, and has consistently found a breakthrough for the side.
Anmol Sharma has scored 3 fifties in 7 innings and averages 44.20
Anshuman Hooda is the leading wicket-taker in DPL 2026 with 17 wickets in 6 innings at an average of 10.76

It will be partly sunny in Delhi with a high of 33 degrees Celsius. There will be very high humidity, which will help the pacers early in the game as they can find some movement in the air. However, overall, we don’t expect any major weather interruptions during the game.

It is a batting-friendly wicket which has at times also offered some help to the bowlers. We have seen some brilliant bowling spells like that of Anshuman Gaikwad in SDS’ last game here. Nevertheless, it is the batters who will have the upper hand on this ground. The average first innings score in the last 5 matches played here is 188 runs. A match-winning score still remains beyond 210 runs, and at least a 195-run total will be a competitive score.
Though 3 of the last 5 matches went in favour of the team batting first, it is still favourable to bowl first on this ground. It takes a really competitive total to win a match while batting first on this wicket. In two of those 3 games, the team was defending a 200+ run total. As such, any captain who wins the toss will consider bowling first to give his team the best chance of winning the match.
SDS have the winning momentum on their side. They have an in-form and deep batting order with a couple of in-form bowlers who’ve delivered consistently. Even if they lose the toss in this match, their batters can put up a big enough total for them to successfully defend against a struggling NDS. The hosts have recently suffered a defeat after winning the toss and opting to bowl first. They have some promising players, but overall, inconsistency is a major issue for the Strikers lately. As a result, South Delhi Superstarz will have the upperhand going into this match.
