SDS vs NDT Match Preview and Team Analysis

South Delhi Superstarz

Ayush Badoni’s side remain at the bottom of the table without a win, and time is running out to turn their season around. The top order, including Kunwar Bidhuri and Sumit Mathur, must find consistency. Badoni will look to lead from the front in the middle order alongside Tejasvi Dahiya and Anmol Sharma, while Vision Panchal and Gulzar Sandhu will aim to provide lower-order resistance.

Bowling remains a major concern, with Sumit Kumar Beniwal and Himanshu Chauhan struggling with the new ball. Badoni’s own off-spin and Vision Panchal’s middle-overs control will be key if they are to restrict a strong NDT batting unit.

Key Players:

• Ayush Badoni – Experienced captain and middle-order anchor.

• Kunwar Bidhuri – Aggressive top-order batter.

• Vision Panchal – Useful all-rounder who can bowl tight overs.

SDS Predicted Playing XI:
Ayush Badoni (c), Kunwar Bidhuri, Anmol Sharma, Tejasvi Dahiya (wk), Sumit Mathur, Vision Panchal, Sumit Kumar Beniwal, Manish Sehrawat, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Abhishek Khandelwal, Himanshu Chauhan (Sub: Gulzar Sandhu)

New Delhi Tigers Date

Himmat Singh’s side started the season with a win but have since slipped with three straight losses. Their batting remains their strength, with Shivam Gupta and Vaibhav Rawal in good touch, while Himmat Singh provides stability in the middle. Lower-order hitters like Parth Bali and Aryan Dalal can score quickly if needed.

Bowling has been inconsistent, but Pankaj Jaswal’s three-wicket haul in the last game was encouraging. Prince Yadav’s wicket-taking ability will be important, while Deepak Punia and Parth Bali need to keep things tight in the middle overs.

Key Players:

• Vaibhav Rawal – In-form batter with a strike rate over 170 in the last game.

• Shivam Gupta – Reliable opener capable of quick starts.

• Pankaj Jaswal – Leading wicket-taker for NDT this season.

NDT Predicted Playing XI:
Himmat Singh (c), Shivam Gupta, Dhruv Kaushik, Aryan Dalal, Keshav Dalal (wk), Deepak Punia, Parth Bali, Pankaj Jaswal, Aatrey Tripathi, Ajay Rana, Prince Yadav (Sub: Vaibhav Rawal)
