Toronto Nationals Team News & Playing 11
TTN Team News
Sandeep Lamichhane is away with Nepal in the Asian finals of the ICC T20 World Cup qualifier, while Jasdeep Singh has withdrawn since the Nationals named their squad after earning a central contract with USA Cricket. Kieron Pollard is the only big-name player retained from last year’s tournament. Trent Boult has been replaced by Mitchell McClenaghan, meanwhile.
TTN Key Players
Kieron Pollard: This will be his first action since smashing an unbeaten 41 from 25 balls to help Mumbai Indians to their thrilling IPL final victory against Chennai Super Kings. His big-hitting ability is undoubted.
Brendon McCullum: Vastly experienced and an icon of T20 cricket, who still has plenty to offer at the top of the batting order too.
Mitchell McClenaghan: With Trent Boult unavailable, the experienced T20 campaigner replaces his countryman and will be key at both ends of the innings with the ball. On his day, he is dangerous – but consistency can be an issue.
TTN Team Form
Toronto Nationals finished bottom of the pile last season, despite winning their opening game. They have changed their team significantly this season, after some limp batting performances following their opening-night fireworks.
Toronto Nationals Predicted Playing 11
Brendon McCullum (c), Calum MacLeod, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Yuvraj Singh, Chirag Suri, Kieron Pollard, Rodrigo Thomas, Chris Green, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jeremy Gordon, Mark Montfort
Vancouver Knights Team News & Playing 11
VCK Team News
Vancouver Knights have retained some of last season’s biggest stars, including captain Chris Gayle and big-hitting batsmen Chadwick Walton, Rassie van der Dussen and Andre Russell.
VCK Key Players
Chris Gayle: The West Indian legend’s ODI career may now be over but he still hit two half-centuries at the World Cup and with 21 T20 hundreds remains one of the finest batsmen in the shortest format.
Andre Russell: Smashed his way into the West Indian World Cup squad with some explosive batting and excellent bowling at the IPL, where he was voted MVP. Injuries are a concern, particularly as he is due to be with the national squad to face India, but if he stays fit and is allowed to play he could be the tournament’s biggest star.
Ali Khan: The American fast bowler could be one of the stand-out associate players in this tournament. Fresh from earning the USA ODI status, after taking 17 wickets in the World Cricket League Division Two, his death bowling is particularly key.
VCK Team Form
Vancouver Knights bounced back from defeat to Toronto Nationals in last season’s opening night to smash their way to the top of the table and ultimately to overall victory. They lost their first play-off, but bounced back with a rain-affected win against Winnipeg Hawks before chasing 146 in 17.3 overs, for the loss of three wickets, to beat the CWI B Team in the final.
Vancouver Knights Predicted Playing 11
Chris Gayle (c), Chadwick Walton (wk), Rassie van der Dussen, Andre Russell, Rizwan Cheema, Shoaib Malik, Saad Bin Zafar, Andile Phehlukwayo, Tim Southee, Harsh Thaker, Ali Khan
