Pitch Report

A decent batting track is expected with ample help on offer for the bowlers. The pacers should get the new ball to move around, making it a touch more difficult for the batters to get going from the word go. As the match progresses, the spinners will also come into play, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 250 being par at the venue.

Today’s SL-A vs PKS Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Abdullah Shafique: Abdullah Shafique is one of Pakistan Shaheens' best young talents, having already made his international debut as well. In the mold of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Shafique will look to settle down and bide his time in the middle before going big, making him a handy addition to your SL-A vs PKS Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Oshada Fernando: Oshada Fernando has had a decent showing against Pakistan Shaheens in the Test series. However, he is more suited to the shorter formats and should come good against a strong bowling attack, given his experience of the local conditions.

All-rounder

Qasim Akram: Qasim Akram is a handy all-rounder who can hold his own with both the bat and ball. While the all-rounder is likely to play a big role with the ball in the middle overs, his big-hitting prowess is also worth watching out for in this game.

Bowler

Naseem Shah: Naseem Shah has already achieved a degree of success in the international arena. However, he will be keen to improve in the shorter formats and throw his name into the national reckoning. With the conditions likely to favor his skill-set, he is a handy selection in your SL-A vs PKS Dream11 fantasy team.
