Another thrilling day of cricket unfolded at the Global T20 Canada as both the Surrey Jaguars and Vancouver Knights secured commanding victories. In the first match, the Surrey Jaguars chased down their target of 128 against the Brampton Wolves with six wickets and 11 balls to spare. Litton Das and skipper Iftikhar Ahmed displayed brilliant performances to ensure a smooth victory. In the second clash of the day, Reuben Trumpelmann and Mohammad Rizwan starred as the Vancouver Knights comfortably defeated the Montreal Tigers by 9 wickets with 31 balls remaining.
In the opening match, the Brampton Wolves won the toss and opted to bat first. However, they struggled against the Jaguars’ bowling attack, with Ammar Khalid leading the way by picking up two crucial early wickets. Colin De Grandhomme fought valiantly with a knock of 34, but wickets fell at regular intervals, resulting in the Wolves finishing at a modest total of 128/9. The Jaguars’ top order stumbled during the powerplay, but Litton Das and Iftikhar Ahmed’s impressive partnership of 99 runs put them in a dominant position. The duo navigated the chase with ease, guiding the team to victory at 132/4.
In the second match, the Montreal Tigers were asked to set a target but struggled to cope with the Vancouver Knights’ formidable bowling attack. Reuben Trumpelmann and Junaid Siddique were instrumental in running through the Tigers’ middle and lower order, restricting them to a mere 99/10. In response, the Vancouver Knights lost Fakhar Zaman early, but Mohammad Rizwan’s remarkable 68, along with Corbin Bosch’s composed 28, led them to an emphatic victory at 103/1.
