Wicket-keeper: There are three dependable options in this department. While Tom Moores did manage to score some runs in the previous game, much is expected from Andre Fletcher and Mohammad Shahzad. Both of them are striking at over 200 and are bound to make an impact in the powerplay overs.
Batsmen: Colin Ingram hasn't been able to convert this starts and will be itching to do so on Saturday. Along with the burly South African, Rilee Russouw and Shane Watson are also dependable options. While Russouw has scored 140 runs for the Tigers, Watson is expected to add to his tally of 204 runs with another imperative performance.
All-rounders: Kieron Pollard is another player who has taken the tournament by storm. His knock against the Karnataka Tuskers is still fresh on the everyone's minds and holds him in good stead. One of David Wiese or Robbie Frylinck should suffice as the final allround option. If one were to pick an extra all-rounder, Ben Cutting should do the trick.
Bowlers: Fawad Ahmed and Liam Plunkett are the must haves for this game for their wicket-taking ability. Both of them have picked wickets regularly and guarantee a wicket or two on Saturday. The likes of Zahoor Khan and Qais Ahmed should round the team off for this game.
Captain: Colin Ingram is one of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball in the league. In spite of his reputation, he hasn't been able to justify his talent. With their backs up against the wall, this could be his day. Along with the likes of Mohammad Shahzad and Andre Fletcher, Colin Ingram is a viable option for captaincy.
