In the Qualifier 1 at the Wankhede Stadium, Rashid got the better of Dhoni. He bowled a googly to Dhoni which he didn't pick and in the process got an inside edge on to the stumps. Dhoni has shown a tendency to struggle against leg-spin throughout this IPL.

This will be a keen contest to watch out for on Sunday. Williamson might save Rashid's overs for Dhoni after seeing what happened in Qualifier 1. It is up to Dhoni to not let himself succumb to Rashid's spin.
