1 Phil Salt, 2 James Vince, 3 Dawid Malan, 4 Ben Stokes (capt), 5 Ben Duckett (wk), 6 Will Jacks, 7 Lewis Gregory, 8 Craig Overton / David Payne, 9 Brydon Carse, 10 Saqib Mahmood, 11 Matt Parkinson
Ben Stokes is arguably one of the best all-rounder of this decade, he is a total box office when it comes to fantasy as he can provide value in all the departments, default captaincy choice.
Dawid Malan has only played 3 ODIs and has all of them have been in the absence of Root, he is a sheet anchor and will be expected to fill the void of Root. Default pick for this match
J Vince is a type of player who is very pleasing to the eye but unfortunately, he has thrown away many starts in the past which is why he averages around the 30s, he will be looking to make an impact in this series.
Saqib Mahmood is a tearaway quick bowler who is very good at the death and may cause trouble with his swing to the opposition batsman.
1 Fakhar Zaman, 2 Imam-ul-Haq, 3 Babar Azam (capt), 4 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 5 Saud Shakeel, 6 Shadab Khan, 7 Faheem Ashraf, 8 Hasan Ali, 9 Shaheen Shah Afridi, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Mohammad Hasnain.
Babar Azam is a run machine in this side, he scored 228 runs in 3 matches in the last series against SA and will be playing the role of an anchor. Default captaincy choice
Fakhar Zaman was the top scorer in the previous series against South Africa with 302 runs in 3 innings which includes 2 centuries. He has a good record in England in this format.
Shaheen Afridi is a world-class talent, can swing the ball, and has good yorkers, he is a very good bowling package and more importantly picks up wickets.
Hasan Ali has been on the rise since returning from injury, he is a very handy slogger lower down the order and is very good with the ball, he has a good bowling record in England in the past (CT17 particularly). He will be one of the best selections for this match.
In ENG vs PAK Dream11 match prediction, This is a second-string side of England which is very inexperienced and Pakistan is expected to win this match.
