11. Pikky Ya France
– Going with a 7-4 Pakistan favoured combination as they’re the clear favourites to win this encounter.
– Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan looks safest C/VC choices considering their current lethal forms.
– Took all the five bowlers of Pakistan as all of them are expected to remain amongst the wickets.
– Pikky Ya France is purely a credit saver pick who will bat at down the order and bowl part time.

– Shaheen Afridi or Haris Rauf might be good captain choices especially while bowling first.
– David Wiese might be a decent VC choice considering his three down batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Fakhar Zaman will be a crucial pick if any of the opener from Pakistan somehow depart early.
– JJ Smit and Nicol Loftie Eaton can give decent fantasy points with the help of bat and ball.

– Try rotating each bowler and top order batters of Pakistan as C/VC in different combinations of GL.
– Expecting Hasan Ali to come back in form by taking atleast 2-3 wickets especially while bowling first.
– Jan Frylinck and JJ Smit might be decent GL picks considering their All-rounder roles.
– Dropped David Weise as he might not perform well against the strong batting and bowling unit of Pakistan.
– Can go with Namibia heavy in a couple of GL combinations especially if they gets to bowl first.
