Top Picks for BAN vs PAK Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batters

Mahmudullah is an experienced campaigner. He will be under immense pressure and must perform in this series to retain his captaincy. Mahmudullah is just shy of 60 runs from the milestone of 2000 runs in the T20Is.

Babar Azam emerged as the leading run-scorer in the recently concluded T20 World Cup. The 27-year-old Pakistani skipper has mustered 303 runs in 6 matches at an average of 60.6, with the help of 4 half-centuries.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Mahedi Hasan is a decent budget pick for your fantasy teams, especially in home conditions. He has scalped 23 wickets and has also scored 173 runs in his T20I career.

Shadab Khan was sensational with the ball for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2021. He used his variations quite well and got perfect rewards for his skills. He picked up 9 wickets in 6 matches, with the best figures of 4/26.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Mustafizur Rahman is good at taking the pace off the ball and knows exactly what length to bowl according to the situation. He will be leading the attack for Bangladesh and a must-pick player for your fantasy teams.

Haris Rauf uses his shoulder to the maximum extent to generate more pace and has got excellent change-ups as well. He has scalped 36 wickets in his T20I career at an economy of 8.57, with the best figures of 4 for 22.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Mohammad Rizwan has scored runs across all parts of the world over the last 16-18 months for Pakistan. It will be interesting how he adapts to the typical Bangladeshi slow surfaces.
