Faf du Plessis vs Harshal Patel

Faf du Plessis is a veteran of the tournament and the game, having played for several teams and won trophies for them as well. Harshal Patel has been having a decent season so far, where he has not done anything extraordinary, and his team has been struggling.

The rivalry between Faf and Harshal has been a clear one-sided affair, with Harshal owning the contest. He has bowled 22 balls to him where he has given just 16 runs, which includes just one boundary and has taken his wicket away twice already. He would be looking to do the same this time around as well.

KL Rahul vs Pat Cummins

KL Rahul has had a fantastic season so far, where he has been scoring runs consistently and winning games for his team as well. Pat Cummins, on the other hand, has not had a great season, neither with the ball nor with the captaincy role.

The contest between these two seems quite evenly stacked, with Rahul having faced 39 deliveries where he has scored 55 runs off them with the help of six boundaries and two sixes, while he has lost his wicket twice as well. It would be interesting to see them this time around.

Heinrich Klaasen vs Mitchell Starc

Heinrich Klaasen and Mitchell Starc are two of the most essential players not just in their IPL clubs but their national teams as well. Only a handful of batsmen have dominated Starc in the ample cricket matches they have played against one another. Among them is Klaasen.

Klaasen has not only shielded him and his squad from the dangerous left-handed pacer, but he has also attacked him. In the IPL, he has hammered him for 33 runs off 14 balls, including four massive sixes and a boundary, without ever getting out to him.
