Top Player Battles
1. Finn Allen vs. Naseem Shah
Finn Allen's explosive opener will get a stern test early against the pace and swing of Naseem Shah with the new ball.

2. Rilee Rossouw vs. Imad Wasim
Rossouw's left-handed free-flowing batting might be tested by Imad's accurate left-arm spin, particularly in the middle overs.

3. Saud Shakeel vs. Jason Holder
Holder's bounce and accuracy can disturb Shakeel, who plays on timing and placement rather than brute strength.

4. Azam Khan vs. Mohammad Amir
A hot encounter, Azam's savage hitting in the last few overs might be countered by Amir's astute variations.

5. Shadab Khan vs. Abrar Ahmed
Shadab enjoys taking spin on, but Abrar's ambiguity might lead to a mistimed stroke in the most crucial middle-overs battle.
