NED vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for 3rd ODI
Pakistan (PAK) and the Netherlands (NED) will lock horns in the third ODI at Hazelaarweg in Rotterdam on Sunday, August 21. Ahead of the match, here's all you need to know about the PAK vs NED Dream11 prediction, including fantasy cricket tips, today's playing XIs and the pitch report for the third ODI.
Along the expected lines, Pakistan have already wrapped up a series win with the likes of Babar Azam and Haris Rauf impressing for them. However, they will eye a cleansweep over the Netherlands with momentum being key as they head into the Asia Cup later in the week.
Although the Dutch have competed well against Pakistan in both games, Scott Edwards and Co. have come short in the crunch moments. Regardless, the Netherlands are a force to be reckoned with in the white-ball formats and should give Pakistan a run for their money, paving the way for a cracking contest in Rotterdam.

NED vs PAK Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Scott Edwards (76 runs in this series, strike rate: 110.14)
Scott Edwards has been in fine form for the Netherlands, scoring ODI fifties against England and Pakistan in their home season. Edwards also boasts a fine strike rate of 110.14 in the middle order. With Mohammad Rizwan struggling for consistency in this format, Edwards stands out as the top wicketkeeper pick for your NED vs PAK Dream11 fantasy team.
Top Batter Pick
Fakhar Zaman (112 runs in this series, strike rate: 94.11)
Fakhar Zaman is a reputed white-ball batter with an ODI average of 45.64 to his credit. He has already scored a hundred in the series, smashing 109 in the opening fixture. While Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam are good options too, Zaman's career strike rate of 94.13 and his hunger for big knocks makes him a fine option.
Top All-rounder Pick
Shadab Khan (48 runs and 1 wicket in the series)
Shadab Khan has been decent in the series with the ball. Although he has picked up only one wicket in two matches, his economy rate reads 4.63, holding him in good stead. With Shadab scoring 48 runs in his lone batting outing in the series, he is a viable pick for your NED vs PAK Dream11 fantasy team.
Top Bowler Pick
Naseem Shah (5 wickets in this series, Average: 15.60)
Naseem Shah has impressed in his first ODI series, picking up five wickets in just two games. He has taken three of those with the new ball, indicating his incisiveness against top-order batters. With Rauf likely to sit this game out, Naseem could be backed to continue his fine form today.
NED vs PAK match captain and vice-captain choices
Fakhar Zaman
Fakhar Zaman is one of the best openers in the business and has a knack for scoring big hundreds in this format. The southpaw was unlucky to get out cheaply in the previous game, but looked good in his man-of-the-match performance in the first ODI. Given his ability against both pace and spin, he should be a brilliant option for captaincy in your Dream11 fantasy team.
Bas de Leede
Bas de Leede is a promising talent who is making his mark on the international circuit. The youngster stood out with the bat in the previous game, scoring 89 runs as the rest of the batting unit failed. With de Leede also showing promise with the ball, he could be a good captaincy option for your NED vs PAK Dream11 fantasy team.

NED vs PAK match expert tips 3rd ODI
Any of Pakistan's top three of Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq should be valuable options. The Netherlands' bowling attack lacks conviction and if they do get themselves in, Pakistan's top three could score big runs.
