• Nicholas Pooran vs Usama Mir:Pooran’s clean hitting against spin could alter game in a hurry. Usama Mir will try the restrict him with sharp turn and clever flight.
  
• Andre Russell vs Salman IrshadRussell hits big in the death overs with his destructive power. Irshad will have to bowl his yorkers and slower balls as long as he can to curb the flow of runs.
