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

Babar Azam

Babar Azam had a miserable run in the Asia Cup but his lean patch has been too stretched one would feel. Given the class Babar has, it’s almost certain that he is going to have a very good series against England.

Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali will be a delighted man to lead England in Pakistan. He will be desperate to do well. Ali is one of the best in this format. Being a spinner, he will enjoy the conditions while as a batter, he is well capable to decimate any bowling lineup.

Mohammad Rizwan

Rizwan has been criticized for his slow strike rate but one cannot deny that he has been a top performer for Pakistan. He was the highest run scorer of the Asia Cup with nearly 300 runs in the tournament.

Mohammad Nawaz

Mohammad Nawaz delivered some fantastic all-round performances for Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Given that England players struggle against spinners, Nawaz can be a trump card for Pakistan. Also, he is more than handy with the bat.

Naseem Shah

Naseem Shah had a wonderful run in the Asia Cup and he troubled a lot of batters with his sheer pace. It will be a good test for him against a strong England side.
