As PBKS prepares to face RCB in an important playoff qualifier 1 match and also have , a few important matchups could be decisive. PBKS batsmen Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh should be careful when facing the fast bowlers, Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, from RCB. Iyer has had no luck against Hazlewood, scoring 9 runs and getting out three times in just five innings which is vital during the middle overs. Although Bhuvneshwar sent Prabhsimran back to the pavilion early, Prabhsimran has also been dismissed by Bhuvneshwar four times in seven innings. Both challenges are likely to result in dramatic shifts in this competition.

Why Shreyas Iyer Needs To Watch Out For Josh Hazlewood

Iyer must be very careful against Hazlewood in today’s match as his performance against the Australian pacer is not very goog. Iyer has scored only 9 runs in five innings, hitting 19 balls and being dismissed by Hazlewood on three occasions, averaging a low 3.00 and striking the ball at a rate of 47.36. Hazlewood has been a headache for Iyer every time they meet this season, due to his accuracy and skill of getting wickets when it matters. Should Iyer continue to rise in the final overs, Hazlewood will most likely bowl to him once again, so this matchup will deserve our full attention.

Why Prabhsimran Singh Needs To Watch Out For Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Prabhsimran Singh must be careful dealing with Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has dismissed him four times in their seven meetings. Even though the PBKS opener has hit 59 runs in 36 balls ofd Bhuvneshwar at an amazing strike rate he tend to play rash shots that often get him out. Because of his low average, Prabhsimran having a mind for attacking might be risky for his team’s defence. Even with a mixed season, Bhuvneshwar’s expertise allows him to make these batsmen struggle. Power play overs will likely see a big battle between these talents.
