Here are the anticipated player matchups for the game:
#1 Trent Boult vs Virat Kohli
When the two teams met earlier in the season, Trent Boult managed to send Virat Kohli back to the pavilion for a golden duck. However, Kohli has never been trapped by the New Zealand pacer during the IPL. The latter has a respectable strike rate of 127.65 and has scored 60 runs in this contest. This season, Kohli has a strike rate of 157.62 against southpaw fast bowlers.
#2 Yuzvendra Chahal vs Glenn Maxwell
Yuzvendra Chahal and Glenn Maxwell will be locking horns with each other in the middle overs of the RCB innings. While Maxwell has been dismissed by the leg-spinner three times in eight IPL innings, he has a strike rate of 123.68 in this match. This season, Maxwell has maintained a strike rate of 169 points against leg-spinners. He has been their victim on three occasions. Chahal has notable four-wicket hauls from his last two games.
#3 Wanindu Hasaranga vs Sanju Samson
With a scorching 48* in his most recent game, Sanju Samson has been maintaining a good batting form. Wanindu Hasaranga needs to hit his target against Samson in order to maintain his season-high strike rate of 186 points against leg-spinners. However, in the previous season, Hasaranga has dismissed the RR captain three times while allowing 23 runs off of the same number of deliveries. But this season, the Sri Lankan star has not been at his best.
