Major  Conflicts

David Warner vs Naseem Shah: Warner's aggressive opening will be put to test by the speed and the swing of Naseem. An early breakthrough by Naseem may turn the match.

Tim Seifert vs Imad Wasim: Seifert's free-flowing batting may conflict with Imad's shrewd and conservative left-arm spin in the powerplay overs.

Mohammad Nabi vs Jason Holder: Both experienced all-rounders, Nabi's lower-order hitting power might be confronted by Holder's precise death bowling in a deciding lower-order clash.

Colin Munro v. Abbas Afridi:Munro likes to unsettle fast bowlers, but Afridi's slower balls and yorkers are likely to be challenging on the pitch of Karachi.

 Rassie Van Der Dussen v Mir Hamza Rassie's unflappable temperament in the middle order supplements Hamza's consistency and swing with the new ball.
