Previous Result — South Delhi Superstarz vs New Delhi Tigers
The two sides last met earlier in this very season, in Match 27 on 16 August 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium — and it turned out to be a thriller. Batting first after South Delhi Superstarz won the toss and chose to bowl, New Delhi Tigers posted an imposing 217/7, powered by a middle-order blitz from captain Himmat Singh (38 off 19 balls) and Manish Sehrawat (42 off 20 balls), with Vaibhav Rawal (44) and Atulya Pandey (23) laying the platform earlier in the innings.
Chasing a stiff target of 218, South Delhi Superstarz were guided home by a sensational unbeaten 60 off just 29 balls from wicketkeeper-batter Tejasvi Dahiya, who added an unbroken 76-run stand with Pranshu Vijayran (26* off 13) to seal a six-wicket win with two balls to spare. That result is the most recent head-to-head context heading into the South Delhi Superstarz vs New Delhi Tigers 39th Match 2026.
South Delhi Superstarz have been in excellent form since that game, also chasing down 217 in a separate fixture against West Delhi Lions and stringing together back-to-back wins, while New Delhi Tigers — one of two new franchises this season alongside Outer Delhi Warriors — have struggled to find consistency and will be eager to turn things around in this rematch.
