SD vs CDK Match Prediction & Analysis

South Delhi Superstarz have reached the Final with 6 consecutive wins. They beat Central Delhi Kings in their previous encounter in Qualifier 1. The Kings bounced back strongly with a 218-run total in the first innings in the QF 2.

As the two in-form teams with strong batting lineups lock horns, who will come out on top? Divansh Rawat is one to watch. He will be the key player, playing a decisive role in the match.

The Kings also have a strong bowling attack. They have a great variety and a few in-form, consistent players like Gavnish Khurana and Tejas Baroka. The captain delivered an all-round performance in the last game, taking a couple of wickets along with a hundred.

South Delhi’s top order is in fine rhythm and will deliver a strong start in this match. They also have some reliable and consistent players in the middle order.

TEAMS PREVIEW

South Delhi Superstarz Preview

South Delhi Superstarz are on a roll with 6 consecutive wins. Their batting is in sublime form. Even with Ayush Badoni out of the XI, their batting has continued to flourish with Anmol Sharma delivering consistently.

Skipper Tejasvi Dahiya has also been very promising and has delivered impactful knocks in each of his last 3 innings. However, in the recent encounter against the Kings, only Sharma and Dahiya were successful with the bat.

Ankur Kaushik was sent to bat at number 3 and failed to make an impact. Karan Garg, promoted to number 4, was also out cheaply. And while Ekansh Dobal failed in the last outing, he had delivered a stronger knock in his previous outing and will be one to watch.

The lower middle order doesn’t look very consistent or reliable, and despite a few big names like Dobal and Ankit Dabas, the vulnerability cannot be overlooked. If the opposition gets Sharma and Dahiya out cheaply, the Superstarz will be under pressure and could finish for a much lower score.

Ankit Dabas, Divansh Rawat, and Anshuman Hooda are the key bowlers in this side. They have been quite reliable, and with Rawat in sublime form lately, we expect him to deliver a game-changing spell in this match.

Interesting Stats

Ankit Dabas has picked up 6 wickets in the last 3 innings, and bowled at an economy of under 6 r.p.o in two of 3 matches

Anmol Sharma has scored 67 and 57 runs in his last two innings

Skipper Dahiya delivered a match-winning fifty the last time he played CDK

South Delhi Superstarz Predicted Playing XI:

Anmol Sharma, Pranav Pant, Ankur Kaushik, Tejasvi Dahiya (c) (wk), Karan Garg, Pranshu Vijayran, Ankit Dabas, Vivek Tiwari, Vision Panchal, Anshuman Hooda, Ekansh Dobal

Central Delhi Kings Preview

The Kings are back in form with a strong win in their last outing. After scoring 218 runs batting first, they bowled out Purani Dilli 6 for just 146 runs. Aditya Bhandari was brilliant as a finisher at number 7.

While Jonty Sidhu led with a hundred to help put a big score in the first innings, the top-order could not get going. Siddarth Joon got off to a strong start, but failed to stay at the crease for more than 9 balls, whereas his opening partner, Samarth Singh, scored at a run a ball.

Yugal Saini, the number 3 batter, is another top-order batter struggling to find his rhythm, and his poor run of form will hurt Central Delhi Kings’ chances. Keshav Dabas, Vansh Bedi, and Aditya Bhandari have made crucial contributions in the lower-middle order.

But they aren’t very consistent. Nevertheless, there is great potential in these three, and even if two of them get going, the Kings will end up with a big finish. Money Grewal finally found his rhythm in the last game, picking up a couple of wickets at a much better economy than his previous outings.

However, the key to success with the ball remains with Gavnish Khurana and Tejas Baroka. While Keshav Dabas has been slightly more expensive, he is a reliable wicket-taker in the squad to watch out.

Interesting Stats

Jonty Sidhu picked up 3 for 25 in the last match and scored 106 off 46 balls at number 4

Gavnish Khurana has picked up 6 wickets in the last 3 matches

Keshav Dabas and Vansh Bedi scored a fifty each against SDS in their QF 1

Central Delhi Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Samarth Singh, Siddharth Joon (wk), Yugal Saini, Jonty Sidhu (c), Aditya Bhandari, Keshav Dabas, Vansh Bedi, Money Grewal, Tejas Baroka, Kuldip Yadav, Gavnish Khurana

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect cloudy skies in Delhi with a high of 31 degrees Celsius around the time of the match. The humidity will be around 71%, which will help the pacers early in the match. There is no rain forecast for the evening, and we don’t expect any interruptions during the match. The dew will play a key role in the second innings, making it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball.

SD vs CDK Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, the only venue for the Delhi Premier League 2026, is a batting-friendly venue. There have been many high-scoring games throughout the league stage and the knockout stage, with CDK scoring 218 batting first in their last match. The average first innings score in the last 5 DPL matches played here is 190 runs. The team batting first in this match should aim for 200+ runs to be in a competitive position.
