Top Picks for IND vs PAK Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batters

Babar Azam:

He is one of the best batters in world cricket at this moment and has dominated the ICC rankings in Test and ODIs. However, the captain of Pakistan’s team has played only a single T20I match this year and it will be interesting to see if he manages to carry forward his form to this format in this important game.

Rohit Sharma:

It is a constant battle between Rohit Sharma and Martin Guptill to be the highest run-scorer in the shortest format. The difference between both the players right now is that of 10 runs. Guptill has scored 10 more runs than Rohit and this game might help him go past Guptill’s total. Rohit has scored 3487 runs in 132 matches and can become the first batter to score over 3500 runs in T20Is in this match.

Suryakumar Yadav:

He can easily be regarded as the best Indian batter in the shortest format currently. The right-handed batter has scored 672 runs in 23 T20Is since making his debut last year. In 12 matches this year, Surya has scored 428 runs at an average of 38.9. His strike rate of 189.38 points toward the approach that India has adopted in recent times.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Hardik Pandya:

The all-rounder has delivered recently every time the team required with both bat and ball. After a career threatening injury, Hardik Pandya has turned the table and is one of the key players for India going into this tournament.

Shadab Khan:

It will be a comeback game for Shadab Khan, who last played a T20I game for Pakistan in December 2021. In 64 T20Is, he has picked 73 wickets at an average of 21.79 and has scored 275 runs as well.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Arshdeep Singh:

His career is still very young as the 23-years-old bowler has featured in only 6 T20Is for India. However, the maturity that he has shown in these 6 matches is unmatched. He has picked 9 wickets at an average of 14.55, an economy of 6.33, and a strike rate of 13.7.

Haris Rauf:

He will be leading the bowling attack for Pakistan in this match in the absence of Shaheen Afridi. The 28-year-old pacer has played 35 T20Is for the team and has taken 42 wickets at an average of 24.85.

Top Picks – Wicketkeeper

Mohammad Rizwan:

In his first and only appearance against India, Mohammad Rizwan, the wicketkeeper-batter made 79 runs off just 55 deliveries and helped Pakistan clinch a victory by 10 wickets. Pakistan will be hoping for a similar performance from him in this game.

IND vs PAK Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for IND vs PAK Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Mohammad Rizwan, Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Babar Azam (C), Lokesh Rahul, Hardik Pandya (VC), Yuzvendra Chahal, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf

Suggested Playing XI No.2 for IND vs PAK Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Mohammad Rizwan, Rohit Sharma (C), Suryakumar Yadav, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Hardik Pandya, Shadab Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh (VC), Haris Rauf

IND vs PAK Risky Captaincy Choices:

Rishabh Pant:

In 13 T20Is, Rishabh Pant has made 260 runs at an average of 26 and a strike rate of 135.41. However, he has scored over 30 runs only thrice this year. His batting style makes him one of the exciting players to watch out for as well as a risky captaincy pick both at the same time.

Yuzvendra Chahal:

He will be playing a multi-team tournament for India after a long gap. In 12 matches this year, he has picked 15 wickets at an average of 18.13, an economy of 7.12, and a strike rate of 15.2.

Player you should avoid:

Hasan Ali:

He has made it to the squad because a side strain ruled Mohammad Wasim out of the tournament. He has played only a single T20I this year and failed to pick a wicket in that game. He might not make it to the final playing 11 for this game and hence, can be avoided in fantasy teams.
