Montreal Tigers Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Nepalese bowler Sandeep Lamichhane was afforded a second chance against Vancouver Knights after conceding 57 runs in his first game, and he took full advantage as he returned 1/19 from his four overs. Rayyan Pathan and Ashley Nurse were replaced by Najibullah Zadran and Dillon Heyliger, but neither made an impact. The remaining eight players have been unchanged but Dwayne Smith's place at the top of the order must be in doubt after his second duck in three innings against Vancouver.
Key Players
Captain Lasith Malinga has been Montreal's stand-out performer - claiming seven wickets from the first three games despite the Tigers' crashing to three defeats. Malinga took 2/19 in the first game, 2/32 against the CWI B Team and then claimed a productive but expensive 3/41 against Vancouver Knights.
Peter Siddle has four wickets, meanwhile - the experienced Aussie having taken 2/33 against the CWI B Team and 2/28 against Vancouver.
West Indian all-rounder Sunil Narine is another key cog in their bowling line-up with his off-spin, as well as a key batsman. After playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL he will hope to kick on after scoring 62 runs and taking one wicket so far in the Global T20 Canada.
No Montreal batsman has passed 50 yet - Sikandar Raza coming closest when he fell for 48 against the CWI B Team to follow up his quick-fire 30 in the opening match. Moises Henriques is their top run-scorer so far, however, with 89 from the first three games including a 34-ball 40 last time out.
Team Form
Montreal Tigers were all out for 157 against Winnipeg Hawks, falling well short of the Hawks' 203/4 in their first match despite Sikandar Raza's breezy 30. Lasith Malinga had earlier returned excellent bowling figures of 2/19.
Raza and Malinga were the top batsman and bowler for the Tigers again against the CWI B Team, but they failed to defend their total of 184/9 - falling to defeat against the inexperienced West Indian side with five balls to spare.
And they suffered more misery against Vancouver Knights after failing to back up a decent bowling effort - Lasith Malinga and Peter Siddle took five wickets between them to restrict the Knights to 166/6 but, after losing Dwayne Smith first ball, Montreal then collapsed from 91/3 at the half-way point to 148 all out with two balls of the innings remaining.
Montreal Tigers Predicted Playing 11
Dwayne Smith, Sunil Narine, Moises Henriques, George Worker, Sikandar Raza, Dinesh Ramdin, Najibullah Zadran, Ashley Nurse, Sandeep Lamichhane, Peter Siddle, Lasith Malinga
Edmonton Royals Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Kevin O'Brien flew out to Ontario to smash 49 from just 17 balls in Edmonton Royals' second game, just days after lining up for Ireland against India. The Irishman replaced Satsimranjit Dhindsa in the line-up, while Shaiman Anwar replaced Abraash Khan from the team which had so convincingly beaten Toronto Nationals in their first match.
Key Players
Shahid Afridi's big-hitting batting and leg-spin bowling have made him one of the most revered all-rounders in world T20 cricket. He is one of only six all-rounders to have both scored 500 runs and taken 50 wickets in T20 internationals.
Luke Ronchi hit five half-centuries in his last seven matches for Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League, meanwhile, including a man-of-the-match performance in the final in Karachi. He took that form to Canada too, with 47 from 18 balls in the first game.
Andre Fletcher top-scored in the first match with an unbeaten 68 from 39 balls, while it was Kevin O'Brien who starred with the bat last time out - his quickfire 49 lifting Edmonton to a decent total after they struggled with the run-rate earlier on.
With the ball, South African Wayne Parnell claimed 2/24 in the first match and 1/24 last time out. Mohammad Irfan has conceded just 42 runs from his eight overs so far, meanwhile, as well as taking two wickets.
Team Form
Edmonton Royals started their Global T20 Canada campaign in style against Toronto Nationals as they reached their target of 170 to win with five overs to spare - Luke Ronchi (47 from 18 balls) and Andre Fletcher (68* from 39) putting on 71 for the first wicket in just four overs.
Against the CWI B Team, however, the batsman struggled to continue the same free-scoring form. Kevin O'Brien plundered 49 from 17 balls to lift them to 155 all out and when the CWI B team found themselves 66/6 at the half-way point, Edmonton looked set for victory. They had no answer to Fabian Allen's sensational 30-ball 75 not out, however, and lost by three wickets with two overs to spare.
Edmonton Royals Predicted Playing 11
Luke Ronchi, Andre Fletcher, Agha Salman, Farhaan Behardien, Shaiman Anwar, Sohail Tanvir, Kevin O'Brien, Shahid Afridi, Wayne Parnell, Hassan Khan, Mohammad Irfan

🏆 Montreal Tigers vs Edmonton Royals Prediction
Montreal Tigers have made a bad start to the Global T20 Canada despite Lasith Malinga's bowling. Edmonton suffered a blip last time out, but with runs at the top of the order and in the middle they are capable of posting some big totals. They should beat Montreal on Wednesday.
Final Verdict: Back Edmonton Royals to beat Montreal Tigers
