Top Picks for SA vs PAK Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batsmen

Janneman Malan was looking good in the 1^st T20I, but he was dismissed after scoring 24 runs from 16 balls. He has played 6 T20I matches for South Africa and has scored 134 runs at a strike rate of 132.67.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was dismissed for 14 runs after scoring 3 fours in the 1^st T20I, but his prowess with the bat is known to all. An average of over 45 and a strike rate of nearly 130 in T20I cricket is special, something that Azam has.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Mohammad Hafeez, in his milestone 100^th T20I, could score only 13 runs from 11 balls. But he is an experienced campaigner and we can expect runs from his bat in the upcoming matches.

Faheem Ashraf’s 14-ball 30 runs in the 1^st T20I made a huge difference for Pakistan in the successfull run-chase. He is also a skilful bowler and has the ability to bowl under pressure.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

The number 1 T20 ranked bowler Tabraiz Shamsi bowled exceptionally well in the 1^st T20I by not conceding too many runs. He picked up 2 important wickets of Fakhar Zaman and the experienced Mohammad Hafeez.

Hasan Ali bowled well in the 1^st T20I, He conceded just 28 runs in his 4 overs and picked up the important wickets of Heinrich Klaasen and Wihan Lubbe. He is a handy lower-order batsman and can hit the ball a long distance.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

South Africa’s skipper Heinrich Klaasen brought up his third half-century in the T20 format in the 1^st match of the series. He played some good shots and was dismissed exactly for 50 runs from 28 balls.

Mohammad Rizwan is in a sublime run of form at the moment in the shortest format of the game. He was rewarded as the player of the match in the 1^st T20I for his unbeaten knock of 74 runs from 50 balls.

SA vs PAK Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for SA vs PAK Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Heinrich Klaasen, Mohammad Rizwan (c), Babar Azam, Aiden Markram, Haider Ali, Janneman Malan (vc), George Linde, Faheem Ashraf, Beuran Hendricks, Tabraiz Shamsi, Hasan Ali

Heinrich Klaasen (vc), Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam (c), Pite Van Biljon, Sharjeel Khan, Janneman Malan, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Nawaz, Lizaad Williams, Sisanda Magala, Mohammad Hasnain

SA vs PAK Risky Captaincy Choices:

Aiden Markram played his 1^st T20I after a long gap of 2 years and scored his maiden half-century in the 1st game of this series. He can be a risky captaincy pick.

Mohammad Nawaz was the most economical bowler for Pakistan in the 1^st T20I, with an economy of 5.2 runs per over. He also picked up 2 important wickets and you can take a risk by choosing him as a captain of your fantasy teams.

Player you should avoid:

You can avoid Andile Phehlukwayo while making your Dream11 fantasy teams. He went at 10.5 runs an over in his 2 overs and the chance of scoring more runs for him with the bat is less since he will bat lower down the order.
