#3 Yuzvendra Chahal vs Alex Hales
For all his flamboyance and panache, Alex Hales generally struggles against the spinning ball and in Yuzvendra Chahal, he will be up against one of the best leg-spinners in the world at the moment.
Hales generally likes pace on the ball and this is where the wily Chahal can trump him. Not only does he vary his pace and length, he always looks to pick up wickets which is a crucial element to him being Kohli's bowler in the powerplays.
