As seen in previous games, the pitch is slightly on the slower side, making for a great contest between the bat and ball. There isn't much movement on offer for the pacers, and the batters will look to take advantage it. As the game progresses, the spinners will come into play, with wickets in hand being key towards the backend of the innings. Both teams will look to bat first under the scorching Dubai heat, with 160 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s PAK vs WI Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Mohammad Rizwan: Mohammad Rizwan has been in sublime form for Pakistan, even earning promotion to the top of the order alongside Babar Azam. His ability to convert starts into big scores makes him a good asset to your PAK vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Evin Lewis: Evin Lewis showed glimpses of his attacking prowess in the IPL for Rajasthan Royals (RR), holding him in good stead ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup. Lewis has ample experience of playing in the UAE and given the form that he is in, he is one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounder

Andre Russell: Andre Russell has had to overcome injury concerns over the last few weeks and didn't feature for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2021 playoffs. With game-time and match practice being the priority in these warm-up games, Russell should play a major role today.

Bowler

Hasan Ali: Hasan Ali has enjoyed some success across all formats for Pakistan over the last year or so. His accuracy and variations are bound to be a handful in the shorter format. His exploits in the UAE leg of the PSL hold him in good stead ahead of the T20 World Cup.
