PAK vs ENG Match Preview
Pakistan is unlikely to change its lineup after a brilliant outing in the previous match. They strengthened their batting depth and bowling attack considerably with the three changes they made. The team is in great form and has momentum on its side with two close victories on the trot.
England will continue to shuffle its players around as it builds toward the World Cup. That means we could see another couple of changes and players that were performing well kept out. England looked a lot more uncomfortable in the previous match than it has in the first few. That is not a good sign moving forward.
Weather Report
The weather is not expected to be an issue during the match. There was dew in the previous game and the same may be the case this time around as well.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium was nowhere close to being as good for batting as what we saw in Karachi. The ball did not come on to the bat, run-scoring was difficult, and the spinners had their say. In these conditions, the balance swings the way of Pakistan quite dramatically.
Notable stats
Mohammad Rizwan A Cut Above The Rest
Mohammad Rizwan has scored more than 400 Dream11 points so far. No one else in the entire series has even scored 300. That just shows how consistent the man has been and how no one can afford not to have him in this form.
Team News
Naseem Shah continues to be unavailable because of illness. Jos Buttler is closer to a return but we don't think England will risk him just yet.

Dream11 Prediction
Pakistan has the upper hand and should be able to win this match as well. From a fantasy games point of view, this means focussing a bit more on Pakistani players as they are predicted to do better.
Top Picks
Haris Rauf - With 273 points to his name so far, Rauf has been outstanding. He is in form and bowling at his best. The slow pitch does not matter to him and in fact, the slowness of the pitch makes him even more difficult to score of.
Ben Duckett - Relatively lower owned at just over 70%, Ben Duckett has almost the same number of points as Babar Azam in this series. He is a crucial part of the middle order and should be in your lineup.
Dawid Malan - Malan has looked good before getting out. He is only owned at 43% right now and could an excellent differentiator for your team.
