DPL 2026: Match 16, PD vs SDS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s DPL match between Purani Dilli 6 vs South Delhi Superstarz?

Purani Dilli 6 (PD) will take on South Delhi Superstarz (SDS) in Match 16 of the Delhi Premier League 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, August 8.

Purani Dilli 6 have had a mixed campaign so far, winning two of their four matches to occupy third place on the points table with four points. They head into this contest after a confidence-boosting victory and will look to continue their momentum. Skipper Anuj Rawat has been in outstanding form with the bat, while Dev Lakra and Aryan Gaur have also made valuable contributions at the top.

South Delhi Superstarz, meanwhile, are seventh on the table with one win from three matches. They will be desperate to return to winning ways and improve their position in the standings.

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is widely regarded as one of the finest batting venues in T20 cricket. The pitch is typically flat, offering consistent bounce that allows batters to play their shots with confidence. Short square boundaries and a lightning-fast outfield further enhance the scoring opportunities, making high totals a common feature at this venue.

Anmol Sharma, Pranav Pant, Ayush Badoni(c), Karan Garg, Tejasvi Dahiya(w), Pranshu Vijayran, Ankit Dabas, Vision Panchal, Divansh Rawat, Anshuman Hooda, Aman Bharti

Anuj Rawat has been one of the standout batters in the tournament, scoring 167 runs in four innings at a remarkable average of 83.50 and a strike rate of 170.41. The Purani Dilli 6 skipper has anchored the innings brilliantly while maintaining an aggressive approach.

Left-arm pacer Anshuman Hooda could emerge as the game-changing bowler in this fixture. Despite featuring in only two matches, he has already claimed five wickets, including a five-wicket haul, at an outstanding average of 10.00. If he continues his impressive form with the new ball and at the death, he could trouble the Purani Dilli batting lineup.
