Before the game goes live, here is a sneak at the top player picks, the important player stats, the top captain and vice-captain choices and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
Pakistan is coming into this game after a big win against the Netherlands. Though the top-order failed to deliver in the first match, Pakistan will take heart from the fact that, as a team, they were able to avoid the potential banana skin. However, batters like Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, and Babar Azam will look to perform better and lay a better foundation for the middle and lower-order batters.

PAK vs SL, Match 7: Top Player Picks
Babar Azam (PAK)
- The Pakistani skipper did not look in the best of touches in the first match. But he has the class with him and it is not long before he goes big.
Haris Rauf (PAK)
- Hairs Rauf looked in great wicket-taking form in the last match. He picked up wickets in the middle-overs and allowed Pakistan to take a strong hold of the match. Rauf will once again be a good choice in this match.
Kusal Mendis (SL)
- Kusal Mendis currently appears to be in the form of his life. He is scoring important runs, whenever he comes out to bat. Mendis will look to continues his form in this game and keeping his current form in mind will be a good pick for the match.
Dilshan Madushanka (SL)
- The Sri Lankan left-arm pacer looked good on a day when the other Sri Lankan bowlers were being slaughtered by the South African batters. On a wicket that might be a bit better for the bowlers, Madushanka will surely be a good pick.
