AFG vs PAK Dream11: Pakistan aim to fix combinations right against spirited Afghanistan

Pakistan will have these three ODIs to fix combinations ahead of the Asia Cup. In ODIs in 2022, Babar Azam & Co have ODI series against Australia, with players like Azam, Rizwan, and Imam performing well. Also, a few young players like Mohammad Wasim Jr, Usama Mir, and Naseem Shah have been amongst the wickets, and have taken some load off Shaheen. With pitches in Sri Lanka aiding slow bowlers a bit more, Shadab Khan and Nawaz’s form will be monitored by Azam.

For Afghanistan, batting looks steady, but the bowling has been slightly inconsistent. Barring Rashid and Mohammed Nabi, the others have been guilty of leaking runs. Against Pakistan, the home tea would be aiming to get this sorted.
