They will rely heavily on one of the best all-rounders in the world, Saim Ayub, to set the tone with both bat and ball, while the duo of Abrar Ahmad and Usman Tariq will look to exploit the Colombo surface.

For the PAK vs NAM Dream11 team prediction, Saim Ayub and Gerhard Erasmus are the best picks for captaincy, as they have been scoring massive fantasy points with both bat and ball.
