PAK vs HK Dream11 match top picks for Asia Cup 2022
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Mohammad Rizwan (43(42) vs India)
Mohammad Rizwan is one of the best batters in this format, averaging 50.15 after 57 T20Is. He scored 43 runs against India, anchoring the innings on a slightly slower pitch. Given his record in the UAE, Rizwan should be a good option for your PAK vs HK Dream11 fantasy team.
Top Batter Pick
Babar Hayat (41(35) vs India)
Babar Hayat looked in good touch in the previous game, scoring a 35-ball 41 against a well-balanced Indian attack. He is perhaps Hong Kong's best batter with a T20I average of 30. He is a decent player of both pace and spin and should be one to watch out for in this game.
Top All-rounder Pick
Shadab Khan (65 matches, 285 runs, 73 wickets)
Shadab Khan had a decent outing with the ball against India, conceding only 19 runs in his four overs. Although he went wicketless, Shadab boasts a T20I strike rate of 18.70. Given his utility as a batter as well, Shadab is a top pick for your PAK vs HK Dream11 fantasy team.
Top Bowler Pick
Haris Rauf (36 matches, 42 wickets, Average: 25.69)
Haris Rauf has been one of Pakistan's best bowlers in white-ball cricket with an average of 25.69. While he was a bit wayward in the previous game against India, Rauf was able to trouble the batters with his raw pace. With Rauf set to lead the Pakistan attack yet again, he could be a good pick for your fantasy team.

Babar Azam
Babar Azam has been one of the best batters in the world. He is the top-ranked batter in T20Is with an average of 44.93.
