Montreal Tigers Team News & Playing 11
MNT Team News
Thisara Perera and Isuru Udana are away for one more game with Sri Lanka, though there may still be changes after the Tigers’ bowlers came in for some heavy punishment for the second consecutive game. Dinesh Chandimal and Ruvindu Gunasekera were brought in last time out to bolster the batting, meanwhile – both are likely to remain after the weather denied them a chance to be tested. Keemo Paul is yet to feature.
MNT Key Players
Sunil Narine: Unable to replicate some of his best T20 form so far in Global T20 Canada, he nevertheless started the tournament with a half-century and took a wicket with his spin-bowling last time out. In the context of the innings, his 1-50 was actually among the better figures.
Anton Devcich: The big-hitting New Zealander would have been relishing his chance to attack on the batting surface last time out. The rain denied him, but he will still be hungry for runs up the order.
Dinesh Chandimal: Brought in to bolster the batting and he certainly can not do any worse than some of his team-mates did in the defeat to Brampton Wolves.
MNT Team Form
Montreal Tigers won their reduced 12-over match against Winnipeg Hawks but it has been painful since. In that game, they posted 135/3 and restricted Winnipeg to 111/5 in reply.
Next up, however, they folded for 101 against Brampton Wolves and lost by ten wickets – the Wolves needing just 40 balls to hit the runs.
They looked poised for another heavy defeat last time out too, having had no answer to Chris Gayle’s hitting. But, after Vancouver Knights posted 276/3 from their 20 overs, the rain saved the Tigers.

Edmonton Royals Team News & Playing 11
EDR Team News
Edmonton Royals have been unchanged in their two matches so far, with World Cup player of the tournament Kane Williamson yet to feature. This could be a chance for the Royals to swap things around a bit.
EDR Key Players
Faf du Plessis: The South African captain has hit 28 and 21 in his two innings so far and now needs to build on those starts to produce the sort of innings he is well known to be more than capable of.
Jimmy Neesham: The New Zealand all-rounder hit 33 from 18 balls last time out and is a genuine all-round option having improved his bowling in the build up to, and throughout, the Cricket World Cup too.
Ben Cutting: Three wickets in two games so far and a fiery 43 from 24 balls in the first game show why he has become a sought-after all-rounder on the T20 franchise circuit.
EDR Team Form
Edmonton Royals have lost both matches they have played so far. They posted 191/6 in a match reduced to 19 overs against Toronto Nationals, but lost by two wickets with seven balls remaining. The Royals then finished on 180/9 in pursuit of Brampton Wolves’ 207/5.
