Topmost Picks for AFG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction:
Top Picks – Afghanistan
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz – Gurbaz will be key for Afghanistan with the bat. The batter has been going through a lean run in T20s but ODI is a different format and he will look to find form.
- Mujeen Ur Rahman – Afghanistan rely a lot on their spin attack and the conditions in Sri Lanka are not easy to bat. Mujeeb and Rashid in the middle overs will decide the fate of the game.
Top Picks – Pakistan
- Babar Azam – Babar Azam will be key for Pakistan. Not much need to be said about the captain as he is arguably the best ODI player right now.
- Shaheen Afridi – Afridi will be the lead pacer for Pakistan. Afridi recently played in Hundred and bowled some sensational spells. He will be key for Pakistan with the new ball.
Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for AFG vs PAK Dream11 Team:
Mohammad Rizwan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Babar Azam(C), Fakhar Zaman, Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi(VC), Rahmat Shah, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Rashid Khan, Fazalhaq Farooqi
Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for AFG vs PAK Dream11 Team:
Mohammad Rizwan(C), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Rashid Khan(VC), Haris Rauf
Captain and Vice-Captain Options:
Captain – Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan
Vice-captain – Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi
Wicketkeeper – Mohammad Rizwan
AFG vs PAK Probable Winners:
Pakistan will begin as our favorite. Pakistan is fielding a full-strength squad and expects to win. Afghans, on the other hand, should not be underestimated. The team has a strong spin attack and is capable of limiting Pakistan to a low score. However, Afghanistan’s batting appears to be a concern, and scoring big runs against a quality Pakistan attack will be difficult. Pakistan is our favorite to win. Considering the team combination, Pakistan is expected to win this match.
