🔥 Head-to-Head Key Battles to Watch
* Abhishek Sharma (IND) vs Shaheen Shah Afridi (PAK): The explosive in-form Indian opener against the world-class left-arm fast bowler who will be looking to strike early with the new ball.
* Kuldeep Yadav (IND) vs Pakistan Middle Order: Kuldeep's wrist-spin has been lethal, particularly against Pakistan, making him the biggest threat to their inconsistent middle-order batting.
* Suryakumar Yadav (IND) vs Haris Rauf (PAK): The battle of pace and power in the death overs. Suryakumar's 360-degree game against Rauf's high pace and yorkers could be a match-defining moment.
