PAK vs SA Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:

Mohammad Rizwan was on top of his game in the first two matches for Pakistan. He scored an unbeaten century in the first game and followed it up with a half-century in the second match. He can be made the captain for one of your Dream11 Fantasy teams.
