PAK vs SL Dream11 Prediction Today (3rd T20I) Sri Lanka Tour of Pakistan 2026 Players to Avoid
Sahan Arachchige got out for a 0 in the last match. He is not scoring runs or bowling enough to get you fantasy points. On the other hand, Abrar Ahmed took no wickets in the last match, and the evening wetness (dew) makes it very hard for spinners to grip the ball. The pitch is also very flat and favours batsmen. So, both of them can be avoided in the PAK vs SL Dream11 team Prediction.
| Player | Dream11 Credits |
|---|---|
| Sahan Arachchige | 7.0 Cr |
| Abrar Ahmed | 9.0 Cr |
