Preview

The Tigers keep outclassing their rivals. In a game that was postponed due to weather, Chris Lynn’s team defeated the Toronto Nationals by 23 runs to secure a postseason spot. Important auxiliary players have been performing well. Lynn wants to win this game and gain momentum as they play their final contest before the playoffs. Chris Lynn and Muhammad Waseem, who have both been doing well, will want to establish themselves at the top. A solid middle order is provided by Sherfane Rutherford, Dilpreet Singh, and Andre Russell, who will try to add quick runs. This batting lineup is strengthened by Carlos Brathwaite, Dipendra Airee, and Srimantha Wijeratne. With Carlos Brathwaite sharing the new ball, Kaleem Sana would hope to pick up early wickets after bowling well in the competition. As a seasoned bowler, Russell will try to succeed with Abbas Afridi in the middle innings. Dipendra Airee and Akif Raja provide this attack more choices.

Full Squad:

Shakib Al Hasan (Captain), Andre Russell, Chris Lynn, Shrefane Rutherford, Carlos Brathwaite, Abbas Afridi, Zahir Khan, Muhammad Waseem, Akif Raja, Aayan Khan, Dipendra Airee, Kaleem Sana, Wijeratne, Matthew Spoors, Bijpendra Singh, Dilpreet Singh, Anoop Chima.

Players to watch out for:

Chris Lynn

Chris Lynn, a right-handed right-hander from Queensland who is well-built and with a powerful swing, is one of the best hitters in the Australian domestic circuit. It’s a great positive that he can compete with the best bowlers, and he also has the ability to change his game depending on the situation and the format. He has already established some T20 legend status with his game-changing skills. He was only removed twice throughout his most recent season, during which he amassed 309 runs at an astounding average of 154.50 and an unbelievable strike rate of 177.59. He led the BBL in scoring the season before with 378 runs at an average of 54 and another record-breaking strike rate of 173. He also holds the record for the most runs scored by the Brisbane Heat (third in the BBL), and the most sixes ever hit in the Big Bash League (94).

Carlos Brathwaite

The right-arm fast, who only bowled one over in the last game, ought to be well-rested and ready to build on his recent success in this encounter. The most notable feat of Carlos Brathwaite is his four consecutive sixes against Ben Stokes in the ICC World T20 2016 final at Eden Gardens, which helped his team defeat England. After only eight T20 Internationals, he was selected as the West Indies’ T20I captain a few months later. He will be the player to watch out for in the match.

Possible Playing XI:

Chris Lynn (c), Muhammad Waseem, Sherfane Rutherford, Dilpreet Singh, Andre Russell, Dipendra Singh Airee, Akif Raja, Carlos Brathwaite, Srimantha Wijeratne (wk), Abbas Afridi, Kaleem Sana

Vancouver Knights (Match Odds- 2.00)

Preview

The team of Rassie van der Dussen is struggling in this match because of their uneven play. If they lose this game, they won’t have a chance to move on. They had previously suffered a significant loss to the Tigers, therefore van der Dussen must take the initiative and lead his team to victory. The team will need Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan to get off to a strong start at the top. With Rayyan Pathan and Rassie Van Der Dussen in the middle order, Corbin Bosch must continue his strong play. Najibullah Zadran and Harsh Thaker round out the team’s potent batting order. The bowling assault has failed the team in a few games, thus they are in need of strong spells from Muhammad Kamal and Corbin Bosch at the top. Due to the Tigers’ strong hitters, Ruben Trumpelmann and Junaid Siddique must bowl strong spells in the middle overs. Karthik Meiyappan’s supporting position calls upon Harsh Thaker to perform well, as he has in the past.

Full Squad:

Mohammad Rizwan, Rassie van der Dussen, Reeza Hendricks, Najibullah Zadran, Naveen-ul-Haq, Corbin Bosch, Junaid Siddique, Vritiya Aravind, Karthik Meiyappan, Ruben Trumpelmann, Ravinderpal Singh, Harsh Thaker, Rayyan Pathan, Nawab Singh, Muhammad Kamal, Kanwar Tathgur

Players to watch out for:

Mohammad Rizwan

Mohammad Rizwan, a well-known wicket-keeper batsman from Peshawar, has a great deal of respect for Adam Gilchrist. Rizwan is a full-time wicketkeeper and an excellent fielder everywhere on the pitch. A busy batsman, Rizwan buzzes like a bee in the opposition’s ears while in full swing.

Junaid Siddique

On December 6, 1992, Junaid Siddique, a cricket player for the United Arab Emirates’ national team, was born in Pakistan. In October 2019, he was added to the United Arab Emirates team in anticipation of the UAE hosting the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup qualification.[3] He took the field for the United Arab Emirates in his debut Twenty20 International (T20I) game against Oman. He will be the bowler in the game to watch out for.

Possible Playing XI:

Rassie Van Der Dussen (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Rayyan Pathan, Harsh Thaker, Najibullah Zadran, Corbin Bosch, Muhammad Kamal, Ruben Trumpelmann, Junaid Siddique, Karthik Meiyappan

Montreal Tigers vs Vancouver Knights Toss Prediction

Montreal Tigers vs Vancouver Knights Pitch Report

The ball comes on nicely to the bat at CAA Centre in Brampton, making it a good pitch for batting. Batter’s ability to play their strokes is enabled by the compact field’s quick outfield. When the ball is fresh and hard, fast bowlers perform well. In order to receive their rewards, spinners must bowl in the proper zones.

Montreal Tigers vs Vancouver Knights Match Prediction

In this match, the Vancouver Knights’ bowlers must put up a strong performance. Although they have a good batting lineup, their bowling has suffered due to a lack of experience. The Montreal Tigers are dominating their opponents and have been on a tear. They are favorites since they have strong hitters on the side.

Montreal Tigers are predicted to win the game with an odds of 1.80.
