Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:
Wicket-keeper: Both Lendl Simmons and Heinrich Klassen are very good options to have in the side although it should be the Brampton Wolves opener who should get the nod over the South African.

They have been sensational in the top order and will be expected to put in another good performance on Saturday.

Allrounders: A number of quality options are on offer with Chris Green being the trump card. He has been the Nationals' best bowler and should pick a wicket or two in the game. Along with him, Shahid Afridi's six-hitting abilities are also quite handy while Rohan Mustafa offers another option with the ball.
Bowlers: While Ish Sodhi and Wahab Riaz pick themselves with a number of wickets to show for already this season. Although Zahoor Khan is also a good option, Sodhi and Riaz's experience should come in handy. From the Toronto Nationals roster, one of Salman Nazar or Mark Montfort should suffice as the final bowling pick in the side.
Captain: Colin Munro should be backed to score big runs once again after a man-of-the-match performance against the Edmonton Royals. While he is ought to be one of the frontrunners, Yuvraj Singh and Lendl Simmons are also viable candidates.
