The Vancouver Knights and Montreal Tigers will face off in the Qualifier 2 of the Global T20 (GT20) Canada 2023 on Saturday, August 5. The CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario, will play host to this match.
The Knights, led by Rassie van der Dussen, made a stupendous turnaround and finished second in the points table. However, they lost to table-toppers Surrey Jaguars by 38 runs in Qualifier 1. In the league stage, the Knights beat the Tigers by nine wickets and that should give them some confidence when they face each other next.
The Tigers, on the other hand, would have been disappointed after not being able to finish in the top two despite having a great campaign. They made amends to some extent by thrashing the Brampton Wolves by nine wickets in the Eliminator.
After being asked to chase down 105, the Tigers romped home with as many as 34 balls to spare. Skipper Chris Lynn stayed not out on 63 runs off 47 balls with seven fours and three sixes.
