Page 3 - IPL 2019: SRH vs RR - Three key battles to watch out for

#3 Shakib Al Hasan vs Ben Stokes

Now, unlike other player battles, this one is a different one. It is a matchup between both the batting skills and the bowling skills of both the players. Both these players are the first choice all-rounders for their teams and how their team fares in the match will depend a lot on their performances.

Interestingly, Ben Stokes comes to bat around the second half of RR's innings which is also the time when Shakib Al Hasan bowls his second spell.

It will be an interesting watch to see if Shakib can nip out Stokes' wicket. Similarly, Shakib comes out to bat at the death which is when Stokes completes his quota of overs. Thus, it will be rather exciting to watch who gets the better of the whom and who will prove to be the more valuable asset to the team. Both teams will give their 100% to get a win and get to winning ways.
