ENG vs PAK Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicket-keeper
Mohammad Rizwan (68 T20I matches, 2429 runs)
Mohammad Rizwan is no doubt the best wicket-keeper pick for today's match as he will bat in the top order and has a high chance of scoring well. Jos Buttler is also a very dangerous batsman but his ultra-aggressive batting style makes him a risky pick. Rizwan tends to be very dependable, hence to be preferred.
Batters
Babar Azam (87 T20I matches, 3172 runs)
Dawid Malan and Babar Azam are the two best batsmen picks for the Dream11 team. Alex Hales has played exceptionally well in the last few matches also, so he too is a good pick for today's Dream11 team. However, the brilliance of Babar makes him the most attractive pick.
All-rounders
Ben Stokes (36 T20I matches, 458 runs, 20 wickets)
Ben Stokes and Sam Curran are the best all-rounder picks for the Dream11 team as they are batting in the top order and also completing their quota of overs. Mohammad Nawaz is another good pick for today's Dream11 team.
Bowlers
Shaheen Afridi (38 T20I matches, 47 wickets)
The top bowler picks for today's Dream11 team are Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. Both have bowled brilliantly in the last few matches, and are also expected to bowl well in death overs. Mark Wood is another good pick for the Dream11 team. However, Shaheen Afridi seems to be the best option considering his quality and performances over the last couple of years.
