South Delhi Superstarz will face New Delhi Tigers in Match 39 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday (August 24) evening.
South Delhi Superstarz are in strong form and have won their last four matches. They are at third place on the points table with 11 points and have already secured a playoff spot. A win could help them move closer to a top-two finish and secure a place in Qualifier 1.
New Delhi Tigers, meanwhile, are at the bottom of the table with two points and have lost their last six matches. They scored 195 in their previous game, with Manish Sehrawat smashing 30 off eight balls, but their bowling attack failed to defend the total.
South Delhi Superstarz will start as the favourites, especially after chasing 217 against New Delhi Tigers when the teams met earlier in the tournament. Meanwhile, the Tigers will need a much-improved bowling effort to stop the in-form Superstarz.
