Key Player Battles

David Warner vs. Shaheen Afridi
A fiery opening battle, Warner's aggressive game will be put to the test by Shaheen's lethal inswinging deliveries.

Kane Williamson vs. Haris Rauf
Williamson's calmness against pace will be tested by Rauf's express deliveries in the middle overs.

Fakhar Zaman vs. Mir Hamza
Fakhar is a player who likes to make explosive starts, but Hamza's left-arm swing may cause him problems early.

Daryl Mitchell vs. Mohammad Nabi
Mitchell’s all-format adaptability will be up against Nabi’s experience and clever variations.

Sikandar Raza vs. Khusdil Shah
Two all-rounders battle it out. Raza’s finishing ability and off-spin could counter Khusdil’s power hitting.
