Top Picks for NED vs PAK Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batters

Babar Azam:

The Wolrd No. 1 batter scored another fifty in the last match after two early wickets. He scored 74 runs in the opening match and now has five fifties in his last five overall matches. He will be a clear choice to captain your side if Pakistan bats first on Sunday.

Tom Cooper:

The 35-year-old batter scored 66 runs off just 74 balls in the last match to guide his team to a respectable total. He scored 65 runs off 54 balls in the first match as well and leads the scoring chart with 131 runs in this series.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Shadab Khan:

The star Pakistani all-rounder smashed 48 runs off just 28 runs in the opening match but didn’t get a chance to bat in the last match. He took a big wicket of Logan van Beek in the last match while conceding just 41 runs in 10 overs.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Vivian Kingma:

The experienced pacer two big wickets of Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman in the last match while conceding just 32 runs and is now leading the most-wickets chart for the hosts with three wickets.

Haris Rauf:

The in-form pacer picked another three-wicket haul in the last match while conceding just 16 runs. He is now leading the wickets chart with six wickets and will be a good captaincy choice if Pakistan bowls first in the next match.

Top Picks – Wicketkeeper

Scott Edwards:

The Dutch wicketkeeper batter smashed 71 runs off just 60 balls in the first match and it will be a clear wicketkeeping choice over Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Haris.

NED vs PAK Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

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

Scott Edwards, Babar Azam (c), Imam-ul-Haq, Tom Cooper (vc), Bas de Leede, Shadab Khan, Logan van Beek, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Vivian Kingma, Haris Rauf

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

Scott Edwards, Mohammad Haris, Babar Azam, Tom Cooper, Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede (vc), Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Vivian Kingma, Haris Rauf (c), Shanawaz Dahani

NED vs PAK Risky Captaincy Choice:

Imam-ul-Haq:

The star opening batter has scored just eight runs in 29 balls from the opening two matches. But he ranks 2nd in the ICC ODI Batters’ chart and maintains an impressive 52-plus average in the fifty-over game.

Shaheen Afridi:

The highest-ranked Pakistani pacer was rested for the first two fixtures as he has just recovered from an injury. He is unlikely to bowl all ten overs in the next match but remains the best bowler pick for your fantasy cricket team.

Player you should avoid:

Wesley Barresi:

The retired batter was recalled for this series due to a lack of options in the batting department. But Barresi has scored only five runs from the opening two matches and is likely to get dropped from the last match.
