• Best Batter: Anmol Sharma – 79 (52)
• Best Bowler: Prince Yadav – 3/31 (4)

In Match 18 of the DPL 2025, the South Delhi Superstarz secured a last-ball 3-wicket win against the New Delhi Tigers, steering a target of 197 after just one ball remained in the game. Although the Tigers had a good batting innings, the Superstarz’s top order came up with match-winning performances, and the visitors’ bowling missed key moments. The result gave the Tigers yet another defeat in their campaign, thus showcasing their inability to finish tight games.

1. Excellent Opening Partnership Superstarz

Anmol Sharma and Tejaswi Dahiya, the two opening batsmen, played some classy shots that resulted in a partnership of 79 runs off 52 balls and 72 off 38 balls, respectively. Their stand was perfect for the chase, as it completely changed the situation of the match after just two overs, and the Tiger’s bowling attack was neutralized. This drive kept the Superstarz in the lead of the required run rate throughout the innings.

2. Tigers’ Bowling Woes in the Death Overs

The New Delhi Tigers were not able to perform according to their plans in the final overs, and consequently, they gave away boundaries. Rahul Chaudhary and Prince Yadav went on to leak a lot of runs, although they got a few wickets. Besides that, no-balls and wides, which are the main expressions of fouls in cricket, made the situation even worse by giving the opposing team vital free scoring opportunities.

3. Missed Opportunity Despite Strong Batting

Dhruv Kaushik provided power to the New Delhi Tigers with his 65 off 41 balls, and Deepak Punia’s 54 off 24 contributed to the total of 196/9. However, the lack of support from other batters in the closing overs left them short of a par-plus total on a batting-friendly pitch. The inability to finish strongly allowed the Superstarz to chase without needing extraordinary hitting at the end.

The Delhi Premier League 2025 is getting really exciting and every one's eye on 18th T20 where we are facing the Both teams have shown signs of their potential this season and this game could kick-start their seasons. NDT boasts of some heavy duty hitters while SDS has an all-round side, so a run-fest game awaits for the fans that would seem to have it all big sixes, anti-aerial balls and even match-turning moments.

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.
