The last international series for these two teams before the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, both Pakistan and England need to make the most out of these matches and get their players some game time before the tournament.

The two teams will now head to the County Ground in Bristol to face off in the third ODI on Tuesday, May 14. Here’s a look at our top five Fantasy Cricket picks for your PAK vs ENG 3rd ODI Dream11 team along with the probable playing 11 for both the teams for England vs Pakistan 3rd ODI at the County Ground, Bristol on Tuesday, May 14.
England vs Pakistan ODI Series 2019: Probable playing 11 for PAK vs ENG 3rd ODI
England played what looked like their starting lineup for the World Cup in the second ODI against Pakistan. But while the batsmen did exactly what was expected of them, their bowlers may have let down the supporters a bit. The attack did manage to pick up wickets but were very expensive as they let Pakistan score 361 chasing 373. This definitely calls for more reinforcement in the attack and thankfully for England, they don’t have to look too far. Jofra Archer who doesn’t feature in the World Cup team is one of the players in form and we definitely see him getting the chance that he deserves. For Pakistan, it has always been about finding the right combination in their bowling attack and that’s something they will try again in Bristol.
England playing 11 today: Eoin Morgan (c), Adil Rashid, Jos Buttler (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Joe Root, Jofra Archer
Pakistan playing 11 today: Sarfaraz Ahmed (c & wk), Yasir Shah, Haris Sohail, Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Asif Ali, Imad Wasim, Fakhar Zaman, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Hasnain, Shaheen Afridi

Here’s a look at the top five Fantasy Cricket picks for PAK vs ENG 3rd ODI Dream11 team:
Top Dream11 picks for the PAK vs ENG 3rd ODI match –
1. Jos Buttler – Wicket keeper/Batsman, England
With a century in the last game, Buttler picked up right where he left off in the IPL 2019. He has been in a good run of form off late and will be one of the in-form batsmen in the tournament. The only drawback of picking Buttler for your Dream11 team is that he usually bats lower down the order and with the form that his teammates are in, he may not be able to bat that often.
Dream11 Points – 87
2. Fakhar Zaman – Batsman, Pakistan
Pakistan started off on a bright note while chasing what was a huge total, Although they lost the wicket of Imam-ul-Haq early on in the innings, opener Fakhar Zaman scored a century to take Pakistan close to the target, in fact it was his wicket that triggered the Pakistan batting collapse but he will be an impact player for your PAK vs ENG 3rd ODI Dream11 team.
Dream11 Points – 92.5
3. Jofra Archer – Bowler, England
He did not play in the second ODI, but he have to play in the third ODI right? A man who is at the top of his game, Archer was surprisingly dropped for the second ODI, but with the English bowlers not really impressing, Archer should return to the side and is a good pick for the England vs Pakistan 3rd ODI.
Dream11 Points – 18
4. Moeen Ali – All-rounder, England
A player who often leaves his mark in the game, one way or the other, Moeen Ali is a good all-rounder to have in your PAK vs ENG Dream11 team. He provides option for his captain and is a player that can have a big impact for England in the World Cup.
Dream11 Points – 18
5. Mohammad Hasnain – Bowler, Pakistan
The young pacer missed out of the starting line up in the second ODI but will most probably make a comeback to the side as Pakistan tests its bowling options. His towering height allows him to get that extra bounce which could work wonders for the bowler in England this season.
Suggested XI for your PAK vs ENG Dream11 team:
Here is our PAK vs ENG 3rd ODI Dream11 team prediction –
Batsmen: J Bairstow, B Azam, Fakhar Zaman (vc), J Buttler (wk) (c), Eoin Morgan
