PAK vs AFG Dream11 Team Prediction Cricket World Cup 2023

PAK vs AFG Match Preview

Pakistan’s World Cup campaign is in jeopardy after they suffered back to back defeats to India and Australia. Pakistan now face a must-win situation against Afghanistan. A loss here would almost end their hopes of a semifinal.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, also face a must-win situation. They did pull off a big win against England but were hammered by New Zealand in the last game. A defeat for Afghanistan will close doors of a semifinal berth. The match is being played in Chennai and Afghanistan should enjoy the conditions.

Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.

PAK vs AFG Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

PAK vs AFG Dream11 Top Picks

Mohammad Rizwan

Rizwan has been sensational and has performed in every game of the tournament. He is the leading run scorer of the tournament with 294 runs in four matches so far. Rizwan also has a century to his name.

Babar Azam

Babar Azam has been below par in the World Cup. He scored a fifty against India but has looked under pressure. Babar is the Pakistan’s best batter and he will have to step up for his team against Afghanistan.

Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Afridi will be high on confidence after taking five wickets against Australia. Afridi is Pakistan’s best bet to take early wickets and the pacer has to ensure that he lives up to the expectations.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

The destructive batter can take the game away from Pakistan within a blink of an eye. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has played a couple of good innings in the world cup but if Afghanistan have to beat Pakistan, he will have to score a big century.

Rashid Khan

Spinners will be key on the Chennai surface and there is no bigger match winner for Afghanistan than Rashid Khan. Rashid will have to take the onus of leading the Afghan bowling attack and helping the team restrict Pakistan to a low score.
