Key Battles
Ravichandran Ashwin vs Quinton de Kock
Ashwin’s record against left-handers in any format is the stuff of legend, and it’s no different against Quinton de Kock in the IPL. The South African opener has been dismissed by Ashwin 4 times in the 7 innings he’s faced him so far. Will he take the new ball and add another dismissal to that tally?
DC Openers vs Trent Boult
Trent Boult had the wood over the DC openers throughout the 2020 season as the left-arm seamer used the conditions to his advantage and gave the openers a torrid time. This time however, the openers are in top form, and how they tackle the swing of Boult with the new ball will have a massive impact on the eventual result of the match.
Rishabh Pant vs Jasprit Bumrah
One of the best death bowlers in the world up against one of the best hitters of the ball in modern-day cricket. Need we say more?
It’s the first leg between IPL 2020’s finalists – two strong outfits with two wins each under their belt. This promises to be a humdinger of a contest. Get your popcorn ready!
