Key Battles to Watch

Ben Duckett vs Romario Shepherd Duckett was instrumental in England’s chase during the second T20I. Shepherd has bowled well but without reward—this clash could be defining.
Shai Hope vs Liam Dawson Hope’s composure at the crease makes him dangerous. Dawson, expected to open the bowling, will be keen to redeem himself after an expensive outing.
Jason Holder vs Adil Rashid Holder took Rashid to the cleaners in the last game. Can Rashid get his revenge and strike early?
