Player Battles to Watch Out For:
Rishabh Pant vs Khaleel Ahmed:
The left-handed batter Rishabh Pant will face the in-form left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who is currently in prime form and swinging the ball both ways. Khaleel has been outstanding this season and could put Pant on the back foot with his early movement and accuracy.
Rachin Ravindra vs Shardul Thakur:
The left-handed Kiwi batter has had a decent run in the tournament so far. On the other hand, Shardul Thakur has been slightly expensive but remains a consistent wicket-taking option. Known for his variations and accuracy, Shardul’s matchup against the Kiwi batter could prove crucial in shifting the momentum in favor of their respective teams.
