Taskin Ahmed v Ashish Nehra

Taskin Ahmed (left) and Ashish Nehra (right)

The old warhorse versus the young tyro. Nehra came back to the Indian team on the back of strong showings in multiple IPL seasons, where he has developed an expertise in how to bowl in this format on subcontinent pitches. His combination of new-ball movement at decent pace often results in early wickets, and he will be relishing the prospect if presented with a green Mirpur pitch. So will Taskin, who is much quicker and has repeatedly provided good bowling starts to the Tigers with his economical and incisive spells.
