Arshdeep, on the other would want to keep up the good work that the left-arm pacer has done in the last few games and get the better of the 17-year-old in the first six overs of the game.
Shivam Dube vs Yuzvendra Chahal
Left-handed batter Shiva Dube will look to take on leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who has been in magnificent form for PBKS in the second half of the tournament, and will look to deliver another strong performance.
Priyansh Arya vs Khaleel Ahmed
Priyansh Arya will look to replicate the performance he gave against CSK in New Chandigarh and will face the challenge of Khaleel Ahmed, who is coming on the back of a decent outing against SRH.
Shreyas Iyer vs Noor Ahmad
The battle between Shreyas Iyer and Noor Ahmed will be fascinating to watch as both players are known for not giving an inch on the field and will look to get the better of each other.
