Toronto Nationals Team News & Playing 11
TTN Team News
Yuvraj Singh led the Nationals last time out but the Indian icon’s star has fallen in T20 cricket and he struggled to score at a good rate. Sandeep Lamichhane remains unavailable, due to his Nepal commitments, so the team could be unchanged despite defeat.
TTN Key Players
Kieron Pollard: Straight back to his best batting form as he smashed an unbeaten 30 from 13 balls to lift the Nationals to a competitive total, while it looks like he will play a big role in the bowling attack again this season too.
Brendon McCullum: Fell cheaply last time out, but the big-hitting New Zealand opener should never be discounted. Even now, the veteran campaigner can take a game away from a team very quickly.
Mitchell McClenaghan: Selected to replace the Trent Boult-sized hole in the Nationals’ bowling armoury, the New Zealander has experience across the globe in T20 cricket and will want to get back to his wicket-taking ways.
TTN Team Form
Toronto Nationals started the 2019 Global T20 Canada campaign with a defeat, posting a below par 159/5 despite some late hitting from Heinrich Klaasen (41 from 20) and Kieron Pollard (30* from 13). In reply, Vancouver Knights lost just two wickets as they raced to 162/2 in 17.2 overs.
Toronto Nationals Predicted Playing 11

Edmonton Royals Team News & Playing 11
EDR Team News
Edmonton Royals have put together a team packed with quality and experience. They have ripped up last year’s team and drafted in the likes of Faf du Plessis, Kane Williamson, Jimmy Neesham and Shefane Rutherford.
EDR Key Players
Kane Williamson: Player of the tournament at the ICC Cricket World Cup after captaining New Zealand to the final, hitting two match-winning centuries along the way. He previously starred in the IPL in 2018 with Sunrisers Hyderabad to prove his class is consistent across all formats.
Faf du Plessis: Playing on the back of a disappointing World Cup with South Africa, but the Proteas’ captain remains one of the game’s best limited-overs players. He scored 396 runs in 12 inning at the IPL to help Chennai Super Kings to another final too.
Jimmy Neesham: In the wickets at the World Cup and capable of some big hitting in the middle order too, in T20 cricket he has a batting strike rate of 138 and a bowling average of 25.27 as he closes in on 100matches in the format.
EDR Team Form
Edmonton Royals won two of their five completed games in the last season of Global T20 Canada, finishing fourth and qualifying for the eliminator play-off. They fell just short of defending 183/9 against Winnipeg Hawks, however, in a seven-wicket defeat with one ball to spare, to miss out on a shot at the final.
Edmonton Royals Predicted Playing 11
Faf du Plessis (c), Mohammad Hafeez, Anshuman Rath (wk), Kane Williamson, Sherfane Rutherford, Jimmy Neesham, Davy Jacobs, Ben Cutting, Shadab Khan, Satsimranjit Dhindsa, Navneet Dhaliwal
