DCP vs ADKR Key battles:
Jordan Cox vs Jason Holder
English batter Jordan Cox will be entrusted to come up witha strong performance in the Eliminator of the fourth edition of the ILT20 against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
Cox will have to face the challenge of the ADKR captain, Jason Holder, who is coming on the back of a decent outing against the Gulf Giants and would look to build on it.
Mohammad Nabi vs Sunil Narine
DCP captain Mohammad Nabi will be backed by the team management to lead from the front and create pressure on the ADKR bowlers while batting in the middle order.
Nabi will have to tackle the bowling of Sunil Narine, who, like Holder, had a good outing in the previous match by picking up a couple of wickets, and would look to carry the same form in the next game
Philip Salt vs David Willey
Opening batter Philip Salt would wish to get his team off to a good start while playing in an attacking manner at the top of the order against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

Liam Livingstone vs Mohammad Nabi
Experienced batter Liam Livingston would hope to control things in the middle overs by taking the aggressive route against the spinners in that particular phase of the innings in the upcoming match.
Livingstone will be up against Mohamad Nabi, who will look to keep the batter in check after the powerplay.
