South Delhi Superstarz vs New Delhi Tigers 27th T20 Match Prediction 2026
The South Delhi Superstarz vs New Delhi Tigers prediction for the 27th T20 of the Delhi Premier League 2026 points towards South Delhi Superstarz as the stronger side heading into Saturday’s contest at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. South Delhi Superstarz have shown encouraging form in their recent outing, defeating East Delhi Riders by nine wickets after chasing down 192 with plenty of overs remaining. Ayush Badoni returned to form in spectacular fashion, smashing an unbeaten 66 from only 25 balls, while Sanat Sangwan and Anmol Sharma also produced excellent contributions at the top of the order. Badoni now leads South Delhi’s batting charts with 156 runs in the tournament, while Anshuman Hooda has emerged as their leading wicket-taker with 12 wickets.
New Delhi Tigers, on the other hand, are going through a difficult phase after losing four consecutive matches. Their latest defeat came against Central Delhi Kings, who chased down New Delhi’s rain-reduced target of 186 with nine wickets in hand. Despite the loss, the Tigers showed some promise with the bat as Keshav Dalal Singh scored 39, Himmat Singh made 46 and Manish Sehrawat contributed 37 from only 19 deliveries. Himmat Singh has been the Tigers’ leading run-scorer this season with 195 runs and remains their biggest batting threat. Hrithik Shokeen has taken eight wickets and leads their bowling attack.
The toss could again be important because teams bowling first have recently enjoyed considerable success at this venue. South Delhi will therefore be eager to continue their momentum and potentially improve their net run rate with another comprehensive victory. The Superstarz have won two of their five matches so far, while the Tigers have only one victory from six games. However, New Delhi Tigers have shown that they can produce competitive totals when their middle order performs. Their 185-run effort against Central Delhi Kings demonstrated that they still possess enough batting power to challenge stronger opponents.
South Delhi’s recent nine-wicket victory provides them with considerable confidence, particularly because their top order looked completely in control during the chase. With Ayush Badoni back among the runs, Sanat Sangwan providing aggression and Anmol Sharma contributing another strong innings, South Delhi have the momentum. Our South Delhi Superstarz vs New Delhi Tigers prediction is therefore South Delhi Superstarz to win, although the Tigers could make the contest competitive if they win the toss and bowl first.

New Delhi Tigers Team Preview
New Delhi Tigers enter this match under pressure after suffering four consecutive defeats in the Delhi Premier League 2026. They have played six matches and managed only one victory, leaving them in a difficult position on the points table.
Their latest defeat came against Central Delhi Kings in a rain-reduced contest. The Tigers batted first and posted 185/8 from 18 overs, but Central Delhi Kings chased the target down in the 13th over with nine wickets in hand.
The result highlighted the Tigers’ problems with the ball. Hritik Shokeen, their key frontline bowler, went wicketless while conceding 52 runs in four overs.
New Delhi Tigers have batted first in four of their six matches and lost three of those games. Their only victory came while defending 178 runs against East Delhi Riders.
Their batting has also lacked consistency. Openers Shivam Gupta and Lakshay Thareja have struggled to provide regular starts, placing additional responsibility on the middle order.
Himmat Singh has been the standout batter. He has scored 195 runs in the tournament and has also been the Tigers’ top scorer across their last three matches, accumulating 106 runs.
Against Central Delhi Kings, Himmat scored 46 runs and helped the team build a competitive total. Keshav Dalal Singh also contributed 39 runs, while Manish Sehrawat scored 37 from just 19 balls.
The Tigers’ middle order therefore has enough firepower to produce a strong total if it gets enough time at the crease.
With the ball, Hritik Shokeen, Laxman and Rishabh Sharma remain the key options. However, the attack has not produced consistent performances throughout the tournament.
The Tigers’ bowling unit picked up only three wickets while defending 161 against South Delhi Superstarz’ recent opponents, while their best bowling performance came when they restricted Purani Dilli 6 to 177/8.
New Delhi’s biggest opportunity could come through the toss. Teams bowling first have enjoyed considerable success in the recent matches at the venue.
If the Tigers win the toss and bowl first, their bowlers can attempt to put South Delhi’s aggressive top order under pressure. Early wickets against Ayush Badoni and Sanat Sangwan would be particularly valuable.
If they are forced to bat first, their top order must improve significantly. Himmat Singh and Keshav Dalal Singh will need to build a foundation before the aggressive middle order attempts to accelerate.
Overall, New Delhi Tigers possess enough batting talent to cause an upset, but their four-match losing streak and inconsistent bowling make them the underdogs.
New Delhi Tigers Key Players
- Himmat Singh: 195 runs in the tournament.
- Hrithik Shokeen: 8 wickets in the tournament.
- Keshav Dalal Singh: Important middle-order contributor.

South Delhi Superstarz Team Preview
South Delhi Superstarz enter this match with greater confidence after producing an impressive nine-wicket victory over East Delhi Riders in their previous game.
East Delhi Riders posted 191/6 after batting first, but South Delhi’s top order made the chase look straightforward. They reached the target in the 17th over with nine wickets still in hand.
Sanat Sangwan and Anmol Sharma gave South Delhi an excellent start. Sangwan scored 57 from 33 balls, while Anmol Sharma made 65 from 43 deliveries.
Their opening partnership provided the perfect platform for captain Ayush Badoni. The skipper then produced one of the best innings of the tournament, smashing an unbeaten 66 from only 25 balls.
Badoni’s innings was particularly important because he had also scored 44 from 25 balls in his previous innings. His return to form gives South Delhi a major boost heading into the final stage of the league.
Badoni currently leads South Delhi’s run-scoring charts with 156 runs in the tournament.
Sanat Sangwan has also become an important member of the top order. His ability to score quickly allows the Superstarz to maintain pressure during the Powerplay.
Anmol Sharma’s fifty in the previous match was another positive development. He had struggled for runs in his previous two innings but responded strongly with 65.
Pranav Pant and Tejasvi Dahiya provide further options in the lower middle order. Both have shown promise with useful performances and could become important if South Delhi lose early wickets.
The bowling department has been less impressive than the batting unit. Several key bowlers have conceded runs at relatively high rates.
However, Anshuman Hooda has emerged as the standout wicket-taker. He has taken seven wickets across the last two matches and currently leads South Delhi’s bowling charts with 12 wickets.
Rishabh Sharma and Divansh Rawat are other important wicket-taking options. Captain Badoni can also contribute with the ball, although he has not enjoyed the same success in that role.
South Delhi’s main objective should be to maintain the batting momentum while improving their bowling discipline. If their top order produces another strong partnership, they can put significant pressure on the Tigers.
The recent nine-wicket win also gives South Delhi an important psychological advantage. Their batters are confident and have demonstrated that they can chase a large target comfortably.
South Delhi have won two of their five matches, and another victory could help them push towards the top four.
Overall, their recent batting form makes them the stronger team heading into this fixture.
South Delhi Superstarz Key Players
- Ayush Badoni: 156 tournament runs and 66* in the last match.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match – South Delhi Superstarz
South Delhi Superstarz are our favourite team for this match because they enter the contest with significantly better recent momentum. They defeated East Delhi Riders by nine wickets in their previous match while chasing 192.
Ayush Badoni was outstanding in that game, scoring an unbeaten 66 from only 25 balls. Sanat Sangwan and Anmol Sharma also scored fifties, demonstrating the strength of the top order.
South Delhi have won two of their five matches, while New Delhi Tigers have managed only one victory from six games and have lost four consecutive matches.
Anshuman Hooda has also become a major bowling threat, taking seven wickets in the last two matches and 12 in the tournament.
The Tigers have capable players such as Himmat Singh and Keshav Dalal Singh, but their bowling has lacked consistency.
The recent form, batting momentum and confidence therefore make South Delhi Superstarz the favourite team.
Pitch Report – Arun Jaitley Stadium
The Arun Jaitley Stadium surface is expected to provide an interesting contest between bat and ball. The recent matches at the venue have strongly favoured teams bowling first, with the last seven games being won by the side chasing. Two of the last three matches have involved successful chases of more than 185 runs. This suggests that batters can score freely once they settle down. However, bowlers who use variations effectively can still create pressure. Teams batting first should aim for a substantial total, while chasing sides will have confidence based on the recent venue trend.
