Mississauga had some of the best T20 players in the world last year like Chris Gayle, James Neesham, and Cameron Delport with Shoaib Malik as the captain of the side.
And yet, they finished at the bottom of the points table with no wins. Can the in-form Rahmanulla Gurbaz who won the IPL with KKR this year, change Bangla Tigers’ fortunes in GT20 Canada 2024?
Montreal Tigers who went heavy in the all-rounders’ department last year continue to do so this season as well. Though there are many changes, their reliance on all-rounders is a constant.
Chris Lynn continues to lead the Montreal Tigers and will be ed by Tim Seifert, Gerhard Erasmus, and Azmatullah Omarzai to name a few. They feature only 4 specialist bowlers but the all-rounders should allow for variety nonetheless.

A new-look Bangla Tigers Mississauga will be keen on making a winning start to their 2024 GT20 Canada campaign. They have made some big changes to their squad including a new skipper.
Shakib Al Hassan will be leading the side and has some very experienced players in the squad for . They’ve signed in Iftikhar Ahmed and David Wiese who are quality all-rounders with the latter being more reliable with the ball.
However, this year, the Bangla Tigers have gone big with local players in the all-rounders’ department. Pargat Singh, Tajinder Dhillon, and Gurpal Sidhu are other all-rounders who are likely to feature in the XI.
UAE’s star batter Muhammad Waseem has also ed the squad and will be one to watch out for. He’s made some big contributions to his national side in recent years and has emerged as a reliable T20 batter.
The Afghan openers Rahanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai should make it to the XI as opening batters. Both of them are known for their big-hitting and the former has recently been part of a title-winning IPL franchise.
Shoriful Islam and Odean Smith will lead the pace attack for the Bangla Tigers along with the local Dillon Heyliger. There will be a great variety in this bowling attack due to the all-rounders and they should be able to challenge the opposition.

Montreal have retained Chris Lynn after he led them to a title win last year. They have released Shakib Al Hasan and Muhammad Waseem among many others.
These two have ed Bangla Tigers Mississauga for 2024. Batting all-rounder Sherfane Rutherford continues to be part of the squad but whether he will feature in this match isn’t a certainty.
Nevertheless, the Tigers have other options for all-rounders Gerhard Erasmus and Azmatullah Omrazai who could fill in for Rutherford. There are many bowling all-rounders this season and that will give Montreal depth in their batting order and offer variety for the skipper in the bowling attack.
Another big change is releasing both wicket-keepers and bringing in Tim Seifert. While he is known to be a quality T20 batter with plenty of experience he hasn’t played a lot of competitive cricket lately.
Mohammad Saifuddin, the bowling all-rounder from Bangladesh will be one to watch out for in the bowling attack. He has plenty of experience bowling against Shakib and should be Lynn’s go-to bowler for a breakthrough.
Naveen-ul-Haq and Zahoor Khan are other promising bowlers in this squad to watch out for. This looks like a pretty solid overall squad with the bowling strength that can put the Bangla Tigers on the back foot.

The weather will be sunny with a high of 22 degrees Celsius on the match day in Brampton. It is going to be a clear day throughout with no clouds or rain.
CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario has been the venue for Global T20 Canada for a few editions. And since it is the only ground where all the matches are played, the pitches will deteriorate as time goes on. Nevertheless, in the early days, we would expect some big-hitting on a fresh pitch and highly competitive scores.
Both teams feature a strong bowling attack and should back themselves to restrict the opposition to a par score. And even if that’s not the case, they can still rely on their all-rounders and top-order batters to chase down a competitive total.
The quality of batting is top-notch in both squads. However, the Montreal Tigers have a stronger bowling attack in our view. And they should have the upper hand going into this match. Montreal Tigers will start as favorites in our match prediction.
