Key Player Battles

Virat Kohli against Arshdeep Singh: The experienced left-arm bowler will seek to swing the new ball early at Kohli, who would serve as the fulcrum for RCB's top order.

Josh Inglis vs. Yash Dayal: Inglis' aggressive approach might be tested by the pace and change in powerplay by Yash Dayal.

Shreyas Iyer v Josh Hazlewood: A mid-order clash to look out for. Hazlewood's accuracy might restrict Iyer's strike rotation and tempo.

Glenn Maxwell against Krunal Pandya: Spin v spin-hitter! Maxwell's counter-attack will be neutralized if Krunal delivers the right lengths. 

 Livingstone VS Xavier Bartlett: Livingstone's big-hitting will be tested against Bartlett's speed, particularly in the death overs.
