Mohammad Hasnain
PAK | BOWL
Hasnain had a terrific outing in the Champions One-Day Cup recently. However, he has not played an ODI game since January 2023 and can be avoided in fantasy teams.
Irfan Khan
PAK | BAT
Irfan is scheduled to make his ODI debut in this match and might not be the best pick for this match.
