PAK vs SL Dream11 Top Picks

Babar Azam

Babar Azam was out for 5 against Netherlands but he is one of the most consistent batters in the world and can be backed to come good against Sri Lanka. Babar had scores of 80 and 90 in the two warm-up games.

Mohammad Rizwan

Mohammad Rizwan has started the World Cup on a positive note. After scoring a century against New Zealand in the warm-up game, he played a 68 run knock against Netherlands to help the team post a strong total on the board. He is the spine of Pakistan’s batting in the middle order.

Shaheen Shah Afridi

Shaheen Afridi is one of the best bowlers with the new ball and will be eyeing early wickets against Sri Lanka. He is someone who can pick 2-3 wickets with the new ball and put the opposition under tremendous pressure.

Kusal Mendis

Mendis was on song against South Africa. He hit eight sixes in his 42 ball 76. While he was batting, it looked like Sri Lanka can get close to the target. Once again a good show is expected of him.

Maheesh Theekshana

Theekshana will be back in Sri Lanka’s playing XI for the game against Pakistan and that will significantly strengthen the bowling lineup. The conditions will help the spinners and Theekshana will have a huge role to play.
