Key Player Battles

Quinton de Kock vs. Avesh Khan
De Kock loves going after pace early in the innings. But Avesh Khan's aggressive length and bounce could put him under pressure.

Sunil Narine vs. Ravi Bishnoi
A unique clash of spin stars Narine with the bat may face Bishnoi’s deceptive googlies, turning a small phase into a big moment.

Rinku Singh v. Shardul Thakur
Rinku's finishing skills will be challenged by Shardul, who lives under pressure with his smart variations.

Mitchell Marsh vs. Varun Chakravarthy
Marsh is infamous for taking on spin, but Varun's mystery balls might disrupt his rhythm in the middle overs.

Nicholas Pooran vs. Harshit Rana
Pooran’s explosive intent meets Rana’s disciplined line and pace – a thrilling battle, especially in the death overs.

Andre Russell vs. Digvesh Rathi
If Russell is at the crease during the slog, Rathi’s composure and slower balls will be crucial to stop the carnage.
