Here are the predicted top 3 player battles for match 30 of ILT20 2025:
Phil Salt vs Haider Razzaq

Phil Salt has made 140 runs at a strike rate of 128.44 in eight games, with the best score of 35. Salt has been in prime form for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. He has given flying starts to his team and will be expected to do so against Gulf Giants as well. Salt has the best game for hitting over the top in powerplay overs.
Haider Razzaq has taken two wickets at an economy of 8.58 in six games. Razzaq doesn’t have the wickets to show for in ILT20 2025 but he has bowled with control and discipline. The right-arm pacer swings the ball in the air and aksi moves off the pitch. He might have an ace in his quiver to deceive Phil Salt and give his team the edge.
Sherfane Rutherford vs Mark Adair

Sherfane Rutherford has made 184 runs at a strike rate of 120.26 in nine games, with a best score of 45. Rutherford has performed well in the middle order and has been finishing the matches as well.
Mark Adair has taken four wickets at an economy of 8.47 in six games, with best bowling of 2/22. Adair’s ability to swing the ball in both ways in the air and off the pitch will give him an edge over Sherfane Rutherford. If Adair sets Rutherford up with his swing, his team might have the advantage.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz vs Jason Holder

Rahmanullah Gurbaz has scored 246 runs at a strike rate of 152.79 in nine games, with the best score of 72. Gurbaz has been excellent at the top for the Gulf Giants, and has been scoring freely as an opener, giving his team the advantage in the powerplay overs.
Jason Holder has scored 51 runs at a strike rate of 145.71 and taken 10 wickets at an economy of 6.84, including the best bowling of 2/22 in seven games in the tournament. Holder has led the ADKR team well and has excelled with both bat and ball. He will take the task on himself to dismiss Gurbaz, the best batter of the opposition, out.
