ENG vs PAK Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Jos Buttler (5 matches, 199 runs, Average: 49.75)
Jos Buttler has been in fine form in the tournament, scoring 199 runs in just five matches. He is averaging close to 50 and scored an unbeaten half-century in his previous outing against India. Given his form and ability, Buttler is a top pick for your ENG vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
Top Batter Pick
Babar Azam (53 off 42 in the previous match vs New Zealand)
Babar Azam has blown hot and cold in the tournament but struck some form in the previous game. Azam scored a 42-ball 53, helping Pakistan chase down a tricky total against New Zealand in the first semi-final. He is capable of scoring big runs and given his recent form, Azam should be a good pick for your ENG vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Shadab Khan (6 matches, 78 runs, 10 wickets)
Shadab Khan has been Pakistan's best player in the T20 World Cup, impressing with both the bat and ball. He has picked 10 wickets at an average of 14.50 and has conceded less than seven an over as well. Taking his batting exploits into consideration, Shadab should be a fine addition to your ENG vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Shaheen Afridi (6 matches, 10 wickets, Average: 14.20)
After a slow start to his campaign, Shaheen Afridi has hit his strides of late, impressing with the new ball and in the death overs. Afridi has claimed 10 wickets in six matches at an average of 14.20. With the left-arm pacer likely to enjoy the conditions on offer in Melbourne, he is a must-have in your ENG vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
ENG vs PAK match captain and vice-captain choices
Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone has not been great in this tournament but has shown glimpses of his ability. Livingstone has a strike rate of 148 in this format and can double up as a bowler as well. With the all-rounder due for a big performance, he is a viable option as captain or vice-captain in your ENG vs PAK Dream11 prediction team.
Shadab Khan
Shadab Khan is Pakistan's joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 10 scalps in six matches.
