IND vs PAK Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Muhammad Rizwan (56 matches, 1662 runs, strike-rate: 128.84)
Muhammad Rizwan has been in sensational form in this format, scoring 1349 runs, including 13 fifty-plus scores in 27 matches, since the start of 2021. His previous T20I outing against India saw him score an unbeaten fifty. Given his ability to score big runs, he is a top-pick in your IND vs PAK Dream11 fantasy team.
Top Batter Pick
Suryakumar Yadav (23 matches, 672 runs, Average: 37.33)
Suryakumar Yadav has been India's best batter in 2022, scoring 428 runs at a strike rate of 189.4. He has three fifty-plus scores, including a hundred against England, this year. With Suryakumar also boasting a good record in the UAE, he is a must-have in your team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Shadab Khan (64 matches, 275 runs, 73 wickets)
Shadab Khan had a good series against the Netherlands, scoring 48 runs and picking up one wicket in two ODIs. He impressed in the PSL earlier in the year with 268 runs and 19 wickets in nine matches. With Shadab bound to play a role with both the bat and ball, he is a top-pick for this game.
Top Bowler Pick
Arshdeep Singh (6 matches, 9 wickets, Average: 14.56)
Arshdeep Singh has been brilliant in his T20I career, picking up nine wickets in six matches. He has impressed with both the new ball and in the death overs with an economy rate of just 6.34. With Jasprit Bumrah not available, Arshdeep will be key in the death overs.
IND vs PAK match captain and vice-captain choices
Babar Azam
Babar Azam is the top-ranked batter in T20Is and for good reason. He averages 45.43 and strikes at 130 in this format. He scores one fifty in nearly three matches, throwing light on his consistency. With Azam showing good form against the Netherlands, he is a top pick for the captaincy in this IND vs PAK 2022 match.
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is another elite T20I batter and is one of the top run-scorers in this format. He has a decent record in the UAE with 174 runs in five T20Is. With Pakistan's pace attack missing both Mohammad Wasim and Shaheen Afridi, Rohit is sure to be a popular captaincy option.
5 Must-picks with player stats for IND vs PAK Dream11 Fantasy Cricket
IND vs PAK match expert tips (Asia Cup 2022)
Pakistan's bowling attack is lacking firepower with Shaheen Afridi being injured. While Haris Rauf and Shahnawaz Dahani are decent, they are not on the same level as Afridi. Indian top-order batters can be backed to score big runs against a relatively-weak Pakistan attack in this crucial IND vs PAK game.
