SL vs PAK Dream11 match top picks for Asia Cup 2022
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Kusal Mendis (5 matches, 155 runs, Average: 31.00)
Kusal Mendis has been Sri Lanka's best batter in the tournament, scoring 155 runs in five matches. Although he failed to get going in the previous SL vs PAK fixture, Mendis is a brilliant player of spin. Given his form and the conditions, Mendis is a top pick for the final.
Top Batter Pick
Babar Azam (5 matches, 63 runs, Average: 12.60)
Babar Azam finally got some runs under his belt in the previous match, scoring 30 off 29 balls against Sri Lanka. He is one of the best players in the format, averaging in excess of 45. With Azam capable of scoring big runs, he is a must-have in your fantasy team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Mohammad Nawaz (5 matches, 8 wickets, Average: 13.38)
Mohammad Nawaz has been Pakistan's stand-out all-rounder, impressing with both the bat and ball. He is their highest wicket-taker with eight scalps and is also striking at an impressive 158.70 with the bat. With Shadab Khan's status being uncertain, Nawaz is likely to play a prominent role yet again.
Top Bowler Pick
Maheesh Theekshana (5 matches, 5 wickets, Economy: 6.85)
Maheesh Theekshana had a good outing against Pakistan in the previous game, picking up two wickets. He is capable of bowling across different phases of an innings, with his economy rate of 6.85 in the Asia Cup holding him in good stead. Given his form and the conditions, Theekshana should be one to watch out for in this game.
SL vs PAK match captain and vice-captain choices for Asia Cup 2022
Wanindu Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga is an elite T20I bowler with a strike rate of 13.38 in 43 matches. He comes into the game on the back of a man-of-the-match performance against Pakistan. With Hasaranga adding value with the bat as well, he is a top choice for the captaincy.
Haris Rauf
Haris Rauf is a good captaincy choice and for good reason. Sri Lanka struggled against express pace, with Rauf himself picking up a couple of wickets in the previous game. He is likely to bowl crunch overs, making him a viable captaincy pick.
5 Must-picks with player stats for SL vs PAK Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips
SL vs PAK match expert tips (Asia Cup 2022)
Pakistan have struggled against spin in Asia Cup 2022. The previous SL vs PAK match saw the Lankan spinners pick up as many as six wickets. With Iftikhar Ahmed and Khushdil Shah not particularly great against spin, Mohammad Nawaz is likely to bat higher up the order. If he does continue his good form with both the bat and ball, he could be a game-changing selection in your SL vs PAK Dream11 fantasy team.
