Top pick from Pakistan
Shadab Khan
- Allrounder
- He should bowl his full quota of overs, as he is the captain of the team.
Imad Wasim
- Excellent batting form.
- He can provide good value with the ball, as Afghanistan have too many right-handers.
- His bowling upside will be better if Mohammad Nawaz misses this game.
Ihsanullah
- He should get a full quota of overs.
- He always looks to take wickets, having an attacking mindset as a bowler.
Mohammad Haris
- He got the start in the last game, but he couldn’t convert it.
- Good form with the bat.
- He can keep if Pakistan decides to drop Azam Khan from this game.
Top Picks from Afghanistan
Rashid Khan
- Only a few Pakistani batters are picking him well.
- He will be lethal against this young Pakistan batting lineup.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz
- Wicket keeping points
- He played a good, cautious innings in the last game.
FazalHaq Farooqi
- Full quota of overs
- He is bowling two overs with the new ball and two overs at the death.
Najibullah Zadran

- In form.
Differential Picks
Saim Ayub
- Despite two lackluster performances in his last two games, Ayub’s overall form is strong.
- He can be picked as a differential player due to the lack of reliable options in the batting section.
Usman Ghani
- He had a great BPL season.
- Good player of spin
- Lack of option in batting section
Zaman Khan
- He will bowl at the death overs and will be effective if Pakistan bowls first.
