Philip Salt vs Lungi Ngidi:
Ngidi will rely on bounce and hard lengths with the new ball to trouble Salt early. If Salt survives the first few overs, he can dominate the powerplay and give Royal Challengers Bengaluru a flying start.
KL Rahul vs Krunal Pandya:
Rahul will aim to anchor the innings and rotate strike through the middle overs. Krunal must vary his pace and bowl tight lines to break partnerships and prevent Rahul from settling into a steady rhythm.
Tim David vs Mukesh Kumar:
David is known for his explosive hitting at the death and can change the game quickly. Mukesh will need precise yorkers and slower balls to control him and avoid conceding heavy runs in the final overs.
