What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for VK vs TOR, Global T20 Canada 2023, Match 2?

Top Pick – Batter

Colin Munro can play anywhere in the top 4 and brings a tremendous amount of franchise T20 experience into the Toronto Nationals setup. He last played his T20 game for Nottinghamshire in this year’s T20 Blast.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Shahid Afridi has excellent variations in his arc and quickly finishes his overs without going for many runs. We can expect cameos with the bat from him as well.

Top Pick – Bowler

Zaman Khan has a slingy action which makes it difficult for the batters to pick his line and lengths. He is one of the lead bowlers for Toronto Nationals.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Vriitya Aravind was born in Chennai and represents UAE. In his 28 T20Is, he has scored 650 runs at a healthy strike rate of 117.96 with the best score of 97*.

X-Factor:

Rassie van der Dussen is one of the experienced batters in the Vancouver Knights line-up. He is a good player of spin and likes to take the game deep.

Pre-Match Analysis:

Vancouver Knights are the most successful side in the Global Canada T20 League. They clinched the title in the inaugural edition beating Cricket West Indies B Team in the finals by 7 wickets and marginally missed out on defending the title with a super over lost to Winnipeg Hawks in the following season held in 2019. The side has completely moved on from the last 4 years and retained only Rassie van der Dussen, Rayyan Pathan, and Harsh Thaker. They have announced Mohammad Rizwan as their skipper however he is currently with the Pakistan Test team in Sri Lanka and is expected to join the squad in the later stages. Their batting is sorted with experienced hitters Fakhar Zaman, Reeza Hendricks, and Rassie van der Dussen in the top 3. They bank on domestic and associate players in the bowling department.

Toronto Nationals are led by legendary Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi in the 3rd edition. They reached the playoffs in the 2nd edition following their abysmal show in the inaugural season where they finished last. They have not retained any of their players from the previous editions. New Zealand batter Colin Munro is a familiar name in the side and they lack firepower in the middle order. Upcoming batter Saim Ayub is now part of the Pakistan Emerging squad and is likely to join the squad next week. They have an excellent bowling attack with versatile bowlers Zaman Khan, Fazalhaq Farooqi, and Shahid Afridi in the mix.
