Bangla Tigers Mississauga (BTM) are set to clash with the Toronto Nationals (TOR) in a do-or-die showdown during the Eliminator round of the Global T20 Canada 2024. 

The highly anticipated BTM vs TOR Eliminator will be played Saturday, August 10, at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario.

BTM vs TOR: Team Previews

Bangla Tigers Mississauga

Bangla Tigers Mississauga have secured the third spot on the points table, like the Brampton Wolves with four victories, two losses, and one game washed out. However, thanks to a superior Net Run Rate, the Wolves edged into a higher position.

The Bangla Tigers previously edged out the Toronto Nationals by a narrow margin of just two runs in a nail-biting encounter and they will be keen to extend their dominance.

They have a formidable top-order trio featuring Khalid Shah, Muhammad Waseem, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, all set to lay a solid foundation.

However, the team’s core strength lies in its versatile all-rounders, including captain Shakib Al Hasan, Curtis Campher, Iftikhar Ahmed, and David Wiese, who have been vital in swinging games in their favor with both bat and ball.

Spearheading the bowling attack are Shoriful Islam, Shakib, Wiese, Campher, and Ali Khan, all primed to derail the Nationals’ batting lineup and punch their ticket to Qualifier 2.

Toronto Nationals

On the other hand, Toronto Nationals have clinched the fourth spot, registering three wins, three losses, and one no-result. They will be itching for payback against the Tigers after their two-run defeat in the group stage.

Coming off a crushing loss to the Montreal Tigers, where they were skittled out for a paltry 52 runs, Toronto’s top order, including Colin Munro, Unmukt Chand, Andries Gous, Nicholas Kirton, and Roston Chase, needs to step up. Each batter must rise to the occasion in this crucial elimination game.

Leading the charge in the bowling department are Jason Behrendorff, Romario Shepherd, Junaid Siddique, Chase, and Saad Bin Zafar, with Mohammad Nawaz also expected to chip in with his all-round abilities.

They are expected to tighten the screws and set the stage for a potential upset, aiming to keep their final hopes alive in this clash of monumental proportions.
