Who Will Win Brampton Wolves vs Winnipeg Hawks, Global T20 Canada 2019?
Group winners Brampton Wolves will look to get back on track when they face Winnipeg Hawks in the second qualifier of the Global T20 Canada 2019 play-offs. The Wolves have lost back-to-back games to leave them needing to win this one if they are to reach the final. The match takes place at the CAA Centre, Brampton, on August 10 and the live action starts at 14:00 local time.
The Hawks lost back-to-back games at the end of the group stage, including against Brampton, but the rain which curtailed their play-off game against Toronto Nationals was the stroke of fortune they needed to get back to winning ways. Though needing a difficult 38 to win from 17 balls, the DLS par score had them two runs ahead – and with no further play possible, the Hawks won.
Brampton have only lost to one team so far, however – defending champions Vancouver Knights, who lie in wait in the final. This is a chance for them to get back on track and book the final spot their group-stage performances deserved.

Brampton Wolves Team News & Playing 11
BTW Team News
Shahid Afridi returned last time out but his innings lasted just one ball. Nevertheless, the Pakistani all-rounder is likely to retain his place ahead of Andre Fletcher. With Rohan Mustafa and Zahoor Khan away with the UAE, the Wolves were otherwise unchanged between their two defeats against Vancouver.
BTW Key Players
Colin Munro: The Wolves’ captain top-scored when these teams last met, with an unbeaten half-century, and he was in good form last time out too as he blasted six sixes on his way to 62 from just 25 balls.
Babar Hayat: Suffered his first low score last time out, having been a late arrival with the team and scored 37*, 48* and 34 in his three previous innings. The Hong Kong batsman is one of the leading associate players in world cricket.
Ish Sodhi: A little expensive in recent matches, he still has 12 wickets to his name so far including 2-16 when these teams last met.
BTW Team Form
The Wolves started their inaugural Global T20 Canada with four straight wins but they have come unstuck in their last two matches – both against Vancouver Knights. In the first, they were bowled out for 138 on their way to an eight-wicket defeat and, in the second, they scored just 103 chasing 181 to win in 16 overs. Colin Munro hit 62 from 25 balls but was the only batsman to reach double figures.

WPH Team News
Wicket-keeper Hamza Tariq and captain Rayad Emrit both returned last time out, though Umar Akmal – who had kept wicket in the previous game – retained his place behind the stumps. Dwayne Bravo has not played the last two matches.
WPH Key Players
JP Duminy: Man of the match last time out after hitting an unbeaten 85 from 41 balls to lead the Hawks to their DLS-method win. He has hit 133 unbeaten runs in the last two games and has 249 runs in total in this tournament.
Chris Lynn: The big-hitting Australian opener has hit 223 runs so far, including two half-centuries, and has complied his runs at a strike rate of 190.59. He hit 21 from 13 balls to inject some early momentum into their innings last time out.
Mohammad Irfan: The giant left-arm paceman took 2-27 when these teams last met and 2-38 against Toronto in the play-offs. While the whole team has been expensive with the ball, his economy rate is better than any of his team-mates.
WPH Team Form
Winnipeg would be naïve to suggest they have not been fortunate with the weather. After two consecutive defeats left them on the brink of missing the play-offs, their match with in-form Vancouver was rained off – giving them the point they needed to qualify.Then, in the play-off, they still needed 38 to win from 17 balls when the rain curtailed their innings, despite JP Duminy’s unbeaten 85 from 41 balls. The DLS par score, however, was calculated at 200 – meaning their 201/5 gave them a narrow win.
Winnipeg Hawks Predicted Playing 11
Chris Lynn, Shaiman Anwar, Umar Akmal, JP Duminy, Sunny Sohal, Hamza Tariq (wk), Rayad Emrit (c), Mohammad Irfan, Varun Sehdev, Kaleem Sana, Umar Ghani
