2) Mayank Agarwal vs Trent Boult   

Trent Boult has been a sensation with the new ball, claiming seven powerplay wickets this season. However, Mayank Agarwal, who has been struggling with form lately, has tackled him well in the past. Agarwal has scored 50 runs against the left-arm pacer off just 30 balls without being dismissed. However, Agarwal has been dismissed four times in the powerplay this season.

3) Heinrich Klaasen vs Yuzvendra Chahal
