#gt20canada #globalt20
Montreal Tigers edged out Vancouver Knights by 10 runs in a thrilling encounter. The Knights won the toss and opted to bowl, which proved to be a good decision as the Tigers were restricted to 144/7 in their 20 overs.

There was no shortage of drama during the Knights’ chase that was almost derailed by the fall of wickets at regular intervals until a spirited lower order fightback almost got them over the line before the Tigers bounced back in time to restrict the Knights to 134/6.

With that win, Montreal rose to the top spot in the standings with four points having won both their matches while Vancouver are tottering at the penultimate (fifth) spot after losing all the three matches they have played so far.

Montreal suffered a top order collapse that saw them tottering at 29/5 by the sixth over before Canadian international Dillpreet Bajwa (33 off 22 balls) and Afghanistan star Azmatullah Omerzai (27 off 30) attempted a fight back with a 58-run partnership over the next seven overs. Thereafter, a fine unbeaten knock by Corbin Bosch (35 off 25 balls) helped the Tigers to a respectable total.

In reply, the Knights ran into trouble right from the start with skipper Usman Khawaja trapped leg before by Omarzai in the first over. With the Montreal bowlers dominating the show, Vancouver were left struggling at 73/5 in the 15th over. However, Dwaine Pretorius ( 31 off 20) and Dipendra Singh Airee (30 not out off 15) put together 60 runs off 30 deliveries to give the Tigers a mighty scare. But the Knights’ hopes of pulling off an unlikely victory were dashed when Pretorius was dismissed by Kaleem Sana with two balls to go.
