#4 AB de Villiers v Rashid Khan

BBL - Scorchers v Strikers
Rashid Khan.

The South African is the lynchpin of the RCB middle-order and it is his power-hitting that almost always have a big say on the team ending up with an excellent batting effort. AB de Villiers comes in to bat at 4 and his batting is crucial for RCB during the middle overs and the slog overs. Considering the fact that he is averaging 51.14 and striking at 178.10, SRH have to find a way to get him out. Keeping him quiet is not an option and the man for the job could just be their star spinner, Rashid Khan.

The leg-spinner is the world’s top T20 bowler and he has performed like that this season, despite a little loss of form at one point. He has taken 13 wickets so far in 12 games and has returned an economy rate of only 7.20. His spell against AB de Villiers is going to be one of the highlights of the game tonight and could well prove to be a game-defining one.
