4. Rashid Khan (GT) vs. Heinrich Klaasen (SRH)

One of the marquee battles is Rashid’s mystery spin against Klaasen’s raw power. Klaasen will need to read the leggie well to dominate the middle overs.

Two dynamic all-rounders who could change the game in a couple of overs—Rutherford with the bat and Mendis with his crafty spin.

6. Mohammed Siraj (GT) vs. Abhishek Sharma (SRH)

Siraj’s aggressive pace and bounce will be crucial in trying to dismiss the dangerous Abhishek Sharma inside the first six overs.
