Maxwell on the other hand has not had a great start with scores of 0, 3 and 28 in the three matches. But this might be the game where the Big Show can get going. With his off-spin, Maxwell could be a good bowling match-up against left-handed Pooran as well.

More From This Section
Krunla Pandya has figures of 0/19 and 0/26 in his four-over spells in the two matches played so far. On the other hand, Karthik has scored quickfire 38, 28 and 20 in his three matches. Thus it is going to be a matchup of economy vs finishing when these two off-filed players will face up against each other on the field.
Virat Kohli vs Mayank Yadav: Master vs menacing pace
The most famous West Delhi player Virat Kohli has had scores of 21, 77 and 83 in the three matches he has played so far. He is the master of his game and would be up against another West Delhi boy Maybnak Yadav, who is the newest pace sensation in the town.
Mayank bowled nine of his 24 deliveries at 150 kmph or more in his debut spell of four overs. He showed range and consistency with the kind of line he maintained while bowling at that place. Broad even called him a great prospect for India to play all formats. It would be the biggest Test of Mayank to bowl against Kohli early on in this game.

Cameron Green has established himself as a big hitter of the white ball. Though he is yet to make a big score this season, the Aussie could target the leg-spin of Ravi Bishnoi. Bishnoi has bowled well so far including in the match against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, but he needs to be wary of the big hitters of Bengaluru.

Yash Dayal vs KL Rahul: Challenge of in-swing
Yash Dayal has been phenomenally good against the right-handers, taking the ball away from them. It is courtesy of that he had figures of 1/23 against Chennai Super Kings and 1/27 against Punjab Kings. However, he was hit for plenty by Kolkata Knight Riders' left-hand heavy batting order.
Bowling against KL Rahul who has struggled a lot with the ball coming in from the angle going away from him, Dayal could trouble the Super Giants captain, It would be interesting to see how Rahul tackles him and get back to form as he could not score big in the second game after scoring fifty in the first game.
