Arun Jaitley Stadium

South Delhi Superstars will be taking on defending champions, East Delhi Riders, in the first match of the Delhi Premier League 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on August 2, 2025 (Saturday) at 8 PM IST. In what would be a repeat of the DPL 2024 final, the Superstarz will be keen to avenge their narrow three-run defeat and begin their season with a bang.

South Delhi Superstars vs East Delhi Riders Chance of Winning

Ahead of the DPL 2025 auction, South Delhi Superstarz made a bold statement by retaining explosive batter Ayush Badoni as their sole retention. They further strengthened their squad by roping in LSG star Digvesh Rathi and the seasoned Himanshu Chauhan, adding both firepower and experience to their ranks.

Meanwhile, defending champions East Delhi Riders have assembled an equally formidable unit. Dynamic wicketkeeper-batter Anuj Rawat, a key figure in their title-winning campaign, was retained ahead of the auction. The Riders bolstered their middle order with the acquisition of Mayank Rawat and added express pacer Navdeep Saini, whose raw pace is set to enhance their bowling attack.

South Delhi Superstarz vs East Delhi Riders Tips

Picking Ayush Badoni is a no-brainer. The explosive batter finished as the second-highest run-scorer in the Delhi Premier League last season, only behind Priyash Arya, and remains a safe bet to continue his fine form from DPL 2024. The Superstarz’ big signing, Digvesh Rathi, was the second-most expensive player at the auction. On the other hand, Anuj Rawat is another reliable pick.

South Delhi Superstarz vs East Delhi Riders Betting Odds

South Delhi Superstarz to dominate the powerplay (Parimatch)

South Delhi Superstarz were a dominant side in the powerplay in the first season of the DPL, but with Ayush Badoni, Tejasvi, and Kuwar Bidhuri being there this season, expect things to be even more spicy. All three of them have a stunning record in the powerplay last season, having an effective strike rate of 145. So backing them to do well in the Delhi Premier League will be really good.

South Delhi Superstarz vs East Delhi Riders Strikers Best Batters

Ayush Badoni to be South Delhi Superstarz’ best batter (Parimatch)

Ayush Badoni was the second-highest run-scorer in the DPL 2024 season and was instrumental in getting the Superstarz to the final with his blistering batting. He scored 522 runs in eight games at an outstanding average of 58. So backing him is a no-brainer.

Anuj Rawat to be East Delhi Riders’ best batter (Parimatch)

Anuj Rawat was the fourth-highest run scorer in the DPL 2024 edition and was the second-highest for the East Delhi Riders. He scored 356 runs in 10 games at an impressive average of 44.50 and formed a strong opening partnership with Sujal Singh. So, placing a bet on him will be as safe as houses.

South Delhi Superstarz vs East Delhi Riders Best Bowlers

Digvesh Rathi to be South Delhi Superstarz’ best bowler (Parimatch)

Digvesh Rathi was the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the DPL 2024 season and the highest wicket-taker for the South Delhi Superstarz, having picked up 14 wickets in 10 games at an impressive economy rate of 7.83. With IPL experience too under his belt, Rathi will be a safe bet to begin with this season.

Akhil Chaudhary to be East Delhi Riders’ best bowler (Parimatch)

Akhil Chaudhary played just six games in the DPL 2024 season, but managed to pick up 10 wickets, including an outstanding four-wicket haul. The Riders’ bowling attack is surely bolstered by his presence and he will be a good player to bet on at the start of the season.
