Global T20 Canada seems to have slightly improved in of batting this season. Unlike last year, we are witnessing some quality batting performances with teams scoring much higher.
Vancouver Knights have lost two games in a row and are in desperate need of a win here. They failed to chase down 153 in their last outing and were bowled out for 110 runs before that.
As they face the defending champions Montreal Tigers, Usman Khawaja needs to find his form along with other key batters in the lineup. Tigers, on the other hand, are coming in hot with almost all of their key players firing on all fronts.
4 batters in the Tigers’ lineup scored 40+ as they posted 189 runs batting first in their last match. And later, the bowlers delivered a brilliant performance at the death, stopping the flow of runs and delivering consistent breakthroughs.

Montreal Tigers have begun their title defense with a big win. While no one reached fifty, they will still take positives from their batting performance as they posed 189 runs batting first.
Chris Lynn opened with Ashton Agar, a bowling all-rounder from Australia. And this experiment worked out just fine with Agar smashing 41 off 29 balls. He had opened in one of the practice matches during the T20 World Cup too.
The bowling all-rounder has some big-hitting abilities and will be one to watch out for in the top 3. Tim Seifert comes in at number 3. He hasn’t played a lot of cricket lately and his form had taken a dip when he last played with his strike rates going down.
However, he has gotten a brilliant start in the GT20 Canada 2024. He’s an experienced T20 player and if he continues his form, he can be a match-winner for Montreal Tigers.
A new star is born for Montreal Tigers with Ben Manenti stepping up and delivering a great finish in the lower order. The right-arm off-break bowler from Italy who’s played for Sydney Sixers in the BBL scored 40 off 23 balls at number 6 in the last game.
Ayaan Afzal Khan was expensive but his ability to pick up wickets makes him an asset in the bowling department. Others like Agar, Zahoor Khan, and Raymon Reifer are also among the consistent wicket-takers in T20 cricket.

Vancouver Knights are off to a poor start this season with back-to-back losses and no promising player. They have such an experienced bowling attack with some of the best pacers in the side.
However, the batters haven’t ed them well. Mohammad Amir, Paul van Meekeran, and Dwaine Pretorius surely form a solid pace attack that should put any lineup under pressure.
The Knights were brilliant with the ball as they broke the 3rd wicket partnership and then continued with more breakthroughs, reducing Bangla Tigers to 5 for 74 runs after 11 Overs.
At this point, Vanouncer Knights were ahead in the contest and were expected to restrict the opposition to below-par total. However, they ended up conceding 152 runs for 7 wickets and fell 22 runs short of the total in chasing.
Harsh Thaker stayed unbeaten on 79 off 67 at number 4 while the rest of the key players failed to deliver. Asif Ali is struggling as a finisher while skipper Usman Khawaja and his opening partner Reeza Hendricks can’t get going at the top.
Things look bleak for the Knights going ahead and they need a strong comeback from the batters to have any chance of winning this match.

It will be a clear and sunny day in Brampton with a high of 26 degrees Celsius. There are signs of rain or even clouds on the match day.
It looks like a balanced wicket this season with batters finding quite a bit of help in the 1st innings. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 GT20 Canada matches has increased to 134 runs.
There have been much better scores so far than the last season and we expect a few more games where the team batting first should be able to score above 150 runs. This may look like a par score in most T20 games, but at the CAA Centre in Brampton, anything around 150-160 can be very competitive.
The trend has changed this season with 3 of the first 4 games won by the team batting first. Last year, 4 of the first 6 T20s of GT20 Canada were won by team bowling first. So far this season, we’ve seen some good scores in the 1st innings and the balanced nature of this pitch has allowed teams to defend it successfully.
While Vancouver Knights have a strong bowling attack that can help them bounce back, their batters are struggling to score runs. Montreal Tigers, on the other hand, are coming in strong with many players finding their rhythm with both bat and ball. Montreal Tigers will start with an upper hand in this contest and are favorites in our match prediction.
