#3 Brendon McCullum vs Imran Tahir

The former Kiwi skipper McCullum is still active in various domestic T20 leagues despite having retired from international cricket some time ago. And he is still capable of tearing apart any bowling attack with his lusty blows with the bat.

He had gotten off to a decent start against KKR in the first match with a 35 ball 35 but failed in the last game. He will be up against the South African leg-spinner and the number one ranked T20 bowler in the world, Imran Tahir.

The leggie has enjoyed a great run so far having picked up six wickets in three games and is firmly in contention for the purple cap. McCullum has had a history of dismantling spin bowlers and it remains to be seen what Tahir has in store to stop him.
