South Delhi Superstarz (SDS) and New Delhi Tigers (NDT), two struggling teams in the Delhi Premier League 2025, will play Match 18 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, on Monday, August 11. SDS still has no wins this season after losing three games in a row and one match being abandoned. Their campaign began with a five-wicket defeat at the hands of the East Delhi Riders, followed by heavy defeats to the West Delhi Lions and Central Delhi Kings. With no momentum, SDS will be on the lookout for a victory against the Tigers to regain their form.
The New Delhi Tigers are currently in the seventh position on the points table with only one win out of four matches. NDT, after an inspiring 40-run victory over Outer Delhi Warriors in their opener, have fallen, losing three games consecutively, one of which was a 10-run defeat to Purani Delhi 6 in their last outing. They will try to end their losing streak by getting their second win and pushing back the downward trend.
SDS vs NDT: Head-to-Head Record
This is the first meeting between South Delhi Superstarz and New Delhi Tigers in DPL history, making this their inaugural head-to-head clash.
SDS vs NDT: Pitch Report
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is likely to favor those batters who play shots. Boundary sizes being shorter, bowlers—especially pace bowlers—will have to be very accurate, especially in the death overs, where the game can change fast. The surface gives very little help to bowlers, so defending totals can be tough. The team that wins the toss is expected to bat first and try to post a big score.
