Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been Afghanistan's best batter in the Asia Cup, scoring 135 runs in three matches. He has a strike rate of 166.67, the best for an opener in the tournament at the time of writing. Given his ability against both pace and spin, Gurbaz should be one to watch out for in this game.

Babar Azam (3 matches, 33 runs, Average: 11.00)
Babar Azam has had a torrid time in the Asia Cup with scores of 14, nine and 10 to his name. However, he is the top ranked T20I batter with an average of 43.85. With Babar due some runs at the top of the order, he is a must-have in your PAK vs AFG Dream11 fantasy team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Shadab Khan (3 matches, 6 wickets, Average: 9.67)
While Mohammad Nawaz has excelled with bat and ball, it is Shadab Khan who is Pakistan's second-highest wicket-taker in Asia Cup 2022. He has picked up six wickets at an average of 9.67. Shadab is also capable of scoring quick runs idown the order, making him a top pick for your PAK vs AFG Dream11 fantasy team.
Top Bowler Pick
Rashid Khan (3 matches, 4 wickets, Average: 18.25)
Rashid Khan is one of the top spinners in the world with a T20I bowling average of 13.96. He has been decent in the Asia Cup with four wickets and an economy rate of 6.08. With Rashid being used as a pinch-hitter by Afghanistan, he is a top bowling pick for your fantasy team.
PAK vs AFG match captain and vice-captain choices for Asia Cup 2022
Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan's only outing against Pakistan in T20Is saw him register figures of 2/26 in his four overs. In addition to his form and effectiveness, Pakistan's middle order has struggled against bowlers with a good googly to fall back on. If Afghanistan were to bowl second in the match, Rashid could be a brilliant captaincy pick for your PAK vs AFG Dream11 fantasy team.
Babar Azam
Babar Azam is not in the best of form but he remains one of the best batters in the world. Babar's only T20I innings against Afghanistan saw him score a fifty. Given his ability to play spin well and score big runs, Babar is bound to be a popular captaincy option.
