VK vs TOR Dream11 Prediction

Vancouver Knights had a solid run during the league stage as they finished second in the points table. However, they lost both qualifiers back-to-back and failed to reach the final. The Knights from Vancouver will be eager to make amendments this season and reach the final this time around.
On the other hand, Toronto Nationals had a terrible run last season. They finished 5th in the points table and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Toronto Nationals will look to leave the disappointment from the previous season behind them and have a solid season this time around.
