The Jaguars needed to win this match to reach the top of the points table. The Panthers with their star-studded line-up could have spoiled their party, but this didn't turn out to be the case. The Jaguars won the toss and put the already struggling Panthers to bat first. Without the Universe Boss Chris Gayle in the side, the Panthers sent both their Canadian batters to open the innings. The in-form Jaguars bowlers put the pressure on the Panthers openers straightaway with Spencer Johnson, Matthew Forde, and Ammar Khalid bowling some tight line and length. The Pacers did their job at the start getting 3 wickets inside the powerplay. The spinners had their eyes lit up when the first delivery from Ayaan Khan to Shoaib Malik spun wild and Litton Das with his lightning hands did the stumping. The rest of the Panthers line-up struggled to score runs as Sandeep Lamichhane, Ayaan Khan and the skipper Iftikhar Ahmed troubled them with the turning deliveries. The Panthers scored only 56 runs in the first innings. With a small total to chase, the Jaguars' openers Mohammad Haris and Jatinder Singh stepped into the middle. The Panthers skipper Shoaib Malik started off with his spinners and Usman Qadir struck in the second over. Litton Das and Mohammad Haris had a little partnership, but Litton Das got out of Cecil Pervez's delivery. The Jaguars skipper Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Haris finished the chase in just 9 overs. The Jaguars won the match by 8 wickets.

The TD Cricket Arena in Brampton was packed to the rafters as Montreal Tigers were anointed champions of season three of Global T20 Canada, following a sensation last ball victory against the Surrey Jaguars. The Montreal Tigers won the toss and chose to field first. Openers Mohammad Haris and Jatinder Singh started cautiously and at the end of the powerplay, the Surrey Jaguars were 35/0. Jatinder Singh anchored the innings, with an unbeaten half-century. Aayan Afzal Khan got the Tigers their first breakthrough when he trapped a well-settled Mohammad Haris in the sixth over. Litton Das joined Jatinder Singh and continued to rotate the strike and minimize risks. At the halfway mark of ten overs, the Jaguars were 58/1. Soon after, Aayan Afzal Khan scalped Litton Das in the eleventh over. Skipper Iftikhar Ahmed looked to move the scoreboard along and lost his wicket as well to Carlos Brathwaite’s low full toss. Ayaan Khan walked in for the Jaguars and played a much-needed quick-fire knock towards the death overs in just 15 deliveries before he was cleaned up by Abbas Afridi in the nineteenth over. Andre Russel bowled a terrific last over, conceding only 7 runs and scalping Matthew Forde in the process. The Surrey Jaguars finished on a competitive total of 130/5. The Montreal Tigers’ response had a tempestuous start. Following a dropped catch, Muhammad Waseem was bowled by a ripper from Spencer Johnson. At the end of the powerplay, the Tigers were poised at 35/1. Coming in at number three, Srimantha Wijeyeratne failed to convert his start, however, opener Chris Lynn batted well to make a key contribution but was dismissed by Iftikhar Ahmed in the eleventh over. In the same over, Iftikhar Ahmed scalped Dilpreet Singh, who was also getting his eye in, to switch the momentum back in favor of the Jaguars. With five overs to go the Montreal Tigers needed 53 runs with six wickets in hand. Sherfane Rutherford and Dipendra Singh struggled to score runs against Iftikhar Ahmed, who conceded just one run in the sixteenth over. Rutherford took apart Matthew Forde in the eighteenth over, with a six and a four to bring the equation down to 25 runs needed off 12 balls. Dipendra Singh retired out, to bring out the dangerous Andre Russel. Spencer Johnson bowled the penultimate over and conceded 12 runs to the duo of Russel and Rutherford. With two runs needed of the last ball, pacer Ammar Khalid could not contain Andre Russel who dispatched his second maximum of the over, to claim the silverware for the Montreal Tigers. The Montreal Tigers finished at 135/5

In the first Playoff match of GT20 Canada Season 3, the top 2 teams on the points table were up against each other. The winner of this clash would go on straight to the Finals. The Jaguars were asked to set a target by the Vancouver Knights. Both openers, Mohammad Haris and Jatinder Singh got starts but failed to make it count. At the end of the powerplay, the Jaguars were placed at 45/2. Pargat Singh ran himself out soon after, while Litton Das also departed after a promising start. Skipper Iftikhar Ahmed and Ayaan Khan put together a partnership, but both batters were scalped in pursuit of a higher run rate. Following their demise, their tail struggled to make an impact. Junaid Siddique was the standout bowler for the Knights with a 4-wicket haul, restricting the Jaguars to 139/9. The Knights’ response fell apart early on. At the end of the powerplay, the Knights were struggling at 31/4 with the early dismissals of Rayyan Pathan, Mohammad Rizwan, Rassie Van Der Dussen, and Harsh Thaker. Following this, Najibullah Zadran and Fabian Allen were a glimmer of hope but departed soon enough. Expectedly the tail struggled to make a significant contribution despite Trumpelmann’s knock and were bundled out for 101. The Surrey Jaguars made their way to the finals with a dominant victory of 38 runs.

In a must-win game for both the teams to reach the Playoffs, it was expected to be a crackerjack of a game, and it was. The Nationals won the toss and decided to chase, putting the Knights to bat first. The Knights' opening pair of Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman stepped into the middle, with Zaman Khan taking the new ball for the Nationals. A watchful start for the Knights was disturbed when Faheem Ashraf took Fakhar Zaman's wicket in the 2nd over. This brought the match-winning pair of Corbin Bosch and Mohammad Rizwan together. They both stitched a 62- run-partnership together before Farhan Malik trapped Corbin Bosch in front of the wicket. The very next over Shahid Afridi struck for the Nationals taking the prized wicket of Mohammad Rizwan. Then in his next over Afridi grabbed a straight-forward catch of the Knights' skipper Rassie van der Dussen on his own bowling. A couple of deliveries later, Sikandar Raza struck for the Nationals when he removed the dangerous Najibullah Zadran. At this point the Knights were struggling to get runs, then a brilliant knock from Harsh Thaker powered them to a fighting score of 128 in their 20 overs. For the Nationals, it was the Canadian pair of Nicholas Kirton and the skipper Hamza Tariq to open the inning. The Nationals started off on a positive note and scored 31 runs in the first 3 overs. It was again Harsh Thaker who saved the Knights, but this time with the ball. He took 2 wickets in his first over, getting rid of both the Nationals openers. In the very next over, Junaid Siddique got 2 wickets in consecutive deliveries, to inflict more damage to the Nationals chase. It was Boom Boom time as Shahid Afridi walked to the middle. But his stay was short, as Corbin Bosch's fiery bouncer produced a false stroke from Afridi. The Nationals lost 5 wickets in a span of 13 runs and they couldn't recover after this. Darren Bravo was struggling from the start but hit a few lusty blows before perishing to the golden boy Harsh Thaker. A few blows from Zaman Khan, gave a slight hope but Corbin Bosch took his wicket and won the match for the Knights. The Knights won the match by a margin of 25 runs.

In a reduced game of 15 overs a side due to rain, Rassie van der Dussen and Hamza Tariq skippers of the Vancouver Knights and the Toronto Nationals respectively, stepped out for the coin toss. The Knights won the toss and chose to field first. The Nationals skipper, Tariq came out to open the innings along with the attacking southpaw, Colin Munro. It didn't take long for Munro to settle in and start playing his natural game. Corbin Bosch struck the first blow for the Knights, getting the Birthday boy Tariq cheaply on a score of 7. Nicholas Kirton then joined Munro in the middle and both the lefties played aggressively. They both stitched up a 76-run partnership in 52 balls before Kirton got his stumps rattled by a spinning delivery from Reeza Hendricks. With just 4 overs left in the innings, it was time for Boom Boom Shahid Afridi to spread his magic. He played a wonderful cameo, hitting some brilliant shots that triggered the feeling of nostalgia in the fans watching the match live. Afridi skied one up high in the air off Newab Singh's bowling, where Ruben Trumpelmann struggled with the wind but safely pouched the important one. This helped the Nationals reach a score of 151/3 in their given quota of 15 overs. Reeza Hendricks partnered up with the explosive Fakhar Zaman to open the innings for the Knights. In the second over and Farooqi's first, Reeza got out for a duck. Fakhar Zaman was then joined by the youngster from UAE - Vriitya Aravind, who straightaway displayed his innovation and range with some delightful strokes. The Nationals got a sigh of relief when Gerhard Erasmus found a faint knick of Aravind's bat. This marked the arrival of the Knights chief Rassie van der Dussen to the crease, and he announced himself with a cracking pull shot for six. He then led the chase, bringing up his 50 in just 18 balls. A chase that at one point looked comfortable for the Knights, was made difficult with some superb bowling from Fazalhaq Farooqi and Zaman Khan in the end. The Toronto Nationals won the match by 9 runs, opening their account on the points table.

GT20 Canada Season 3 kickstarted with the contest between Tim Southee's Brampton Wolves and Shoaib Malik's Mississauga Panthers. The Wolves won the toss and chose to field first. The skipper Tim Southee having the ball in his hand was up against the Panthers openers, Tom Cooper and Chris Gayle. The Panthers got off to a shaky start with a mix-up between the openers that resulted in Tom Cooper getting run out. Chris Gayle after hitting a couple of boundaries, skied one up in the air, giving Logan van Beek his first wicket of the match. Shoaib Malik then arrived at the crease, and in an attempt to play his favorite cut shot off Chris Green, he chopped one onto the stumps. Azam Khan and Navneet Dhaliwal then steadied the ship with a good-looking partnership. Logan van Beek then got rid of Dhaliwal, while Chris Green sent James Neesham back to the pavilion cheaply. In the last 5 overs, the Wolves took away all the momentum from the Panthers. In the end, the Panthers got all out on 121. The second innings got off to a flyer with Usman Khan taking on Parveen Kumar in the very first over. Seeing his partner, Aaron Johnson too got into attacking mode soon. Zahoor Khan ensured he got his countryman's wicket and got rid of the dangerous Usman Khan. But this didn't stop the Wolves from playing their natural aggressive gameplay. Aaron Johnson and Mark Chapman were cruising along the chase. With a handful of runs left, a sudden burst of the shower meant the play had to stop. After a brief break, the two teams shook hands and the Wolves won by 44 runs by the DLS method. Logan van Beek was adjudged the Player of the Match for his brilliant spell of 4-12.

Once a Knight himself, Shoaib Malik now representing the Panthers walked out along with Rassie van der Dussen for the toss. The Knights won the toss and chose to bowl, just like their last match. Tom Cooper and Chris Gayle came out to open the innings for the Panthers, with Corbin Bosch taking the new ball. Cooper was undone on the very first ball of the match with a perfect delivery, hitting him on the pads. Navneet Dhaliwal then came to the middle and played some cracking shots. It was Corbin Bosch again who delivered a peach, going right through Dhaliwal's defense. The Panthers were put on a backfoot courtesy of 2 quick wickets of Jaskarandeep Singh and Shoaib Malik. This brought the dangerous combination of Azam Khan and Chris Gayle together. This partnership was worth watching, Chris Gayle took a backseat and let Azam Khan express himself in the middle. Soon, the duo brought up a 100+ run partnership. Both of them posted 60+ scores, which helped them post a score of 158 on the board. In the chase, Vriitya Aravind along with Fakhar Zaman walked out to open the innings. Just in the next over, Aravind fell for a leg-side trap. The Knights promoted their talented Canadian all-rounder, Harsh Thaker to number 3. Harsh was scoring swiftly and Fakhar was struggling at the other end, Usman Qadir from the Panthers ended Fakhar's suffering. The Knights skipper Rassie then joined the youngster and both started to score quick runs. Rassie continued from where he left off in the last match. Meanwhile, Thaker brought up his first 50 of GT20 Canada. With 43 runs needed off 35 balls, the Knights looked comfortable in their chase. Then Rassie trying to innovate, tried to play a reverse sweep off Usman Qadir, which went straight to Tom Cooper. The Knights lost 2 wickets in quick succession, making a comfortable chase tricky. With the Knights needing 10 off the last over, the ghosts of their last match came alive, but this time Harsh Thaker was there to take them Home. The Knights won the match by 5 wickets.

The two power-packed sides are led by the two hardest hitters. Iftikhar Ahmed, skipper of the Surrey Jaguars, and Chris Lynn, leading the Montreal Tigers came out for the coin toss. The Tigers called it correctly, won the toss, and chose to bowl first. The star-studded openers from the Surrey Jaguars, Litton Das, and Alex Hales walked into the middle, with Carlos Brathwaite taking the new ball from the Tigers camp. It took just 3 deliveries for Kaleem Sana to get rid of Alex Hales for just 1 run. Next in came the aggressive batter from Oman, Jatinder Singh, who started off playing some wonderful strokes. The Tigers then turned to their star all-rounder Shakib al Hasan to weave his magic and bring them back into the game. As expected Shakib delivered in his very first over, and took the wicket of Litton Das. Soon following Litton to the dressing room was Jatinder Singh, who in an attempt to hit Abbas Afridi got hold out in the deep. In the very next over Shakib struck once again but this time with the help of a stunner from Muhammad Waseem in the deep. It was the big Australian all-rounder Ben Cutting who came in next. He showed some intent, while Iftikhar at the other end was struggling. A tight bowling and fielding effort from the Tigers kept Iftikhar Ahmed from unleashing and ensured they restricted the Jaguars within a chasable total. The Jaguars finished their 20 overs with 138 on the board. The Tigers leader Chris Lynn was accompanied by his attacking companion Muhammad Waseem from UAE. Lynn freed his arms and started playing his natural game before Bernard Scholtz uprooted his middle stump with an unplayable yorker. Shakib al Hasan came out all guns blazing from ball one. He took on the bowlers that made the Jaguars turn to their star spinner Sandeep Lamichhane. He in his very first ball of the match forced an error from Shakib, getting his wicket. A couple of quick wickets of Waseem and Rutherford brought the Jaguars back into the game. The youngsters Dilpreet Singh Bajwa and the Nepal international Dipendra Singh Airee from the Tigers camp came together to forge a partnership. The Jaguars once again turned to Lamichhane to provide them a breakthrough, and he responded to this request, removing his countryman Dipendra Singh Airee by trapping him in front of the wicket. This brought Carlos Brathwaite to the crease. We all remember his name for one thing, and he did just that. The Montreal Tigers in the end won comfortably with 5 wickets.

The Panthers losing both their games were up against a strong-looking Tigers. The Tigers' skipper won the toss and decided to bowl first, continuing the trend of this tournament till now. The Tigers' bowlers were on song from the start, removing both the openers in the first two overs. The Panthers seemed to be in deep trouble, having no answers to the disciplined bowling from the Tigers. Navneet Dhaliwal and Azam Khan had a little partnership between them, but soon Shakib Al Hasan removed the dangerous-looking Azam Khan. The Kiwi international Jimmy Neesham then joined Dhaliwal in the middle. Another little partnership between these settled the Panthers' momentum, but a string of wickets in quick succession hampered that momentum. Jimmy Neesham displayed all his experience and ability and took the Panthers to a score of 140. The chase for the Tigers started off on an unlikely note, Muhammad Waseem mistimed one off Jaskaran that went straight to Usman Qadir who pouched it with ease. The next to come in was Shakib Al Hasan, who came into the middle with positive intent. Both experienced players took charge of the Panthers' bowling attack. The Tigers were looking comfortable in their chase. A moment of excellence from Azam Khan brought a little ray of hope to the Panthers' side when Azam removed Shakib with a lightning stumping. This didn't faze Chris Lynn a bit who was going at his own pace. With some assistance from Sherfane Rutherford, Chris Lynn finished off the chase with ease and in style. Montreal Tigers won the match with 7 wickets.

Both the teams coming into this contest high on confidence, bagging 2 points each winning their previous games. Tim Southee from the Wolves and Hamza Tariq from the Nationals came out for the coin toss. Wolves won the toss and asked the Nationals to bat first. No change in the Playing XI for both the teams. Hamza Tariq opened the innings with his partner Colin Munro. The skipper started off the innings with a positive intent, taking on the Wolves bowlers. It was a familiar affair for Munro as the opposition had a number of Kiwis on their side. Tariq's party was ended by Tim Southee thanks to a spectacular grab from Chris Green. The Canadian international Nicholas Kirton then joined his fellow Southpaw in the middle. Kirton was scoring at a swift pace, while Munro played a supporting role. Soon, Logan van Beek came into the attack and removed Colin Munro. This made way for Shahid Afridi to enter with 11 overs remaining. Afridi looked good in the middle, but his namesake from the Wolves - Shahid Ahmadzai found the piece of Afridi's timber. The very next ball Ahmadzai removed Gerhard Erasmus. A string of wickets brought the Wolves back into the game. With small contributions from Faheem Ashraf and Saad bin Zafar, the Nationals were able to post 142 on the board. From the Wolves it was Usman Khan and Aaron Johnson who started the chase. It was Zaman Khan who struck the first blow with his loopy slow yorker right at the bottom of Usman's middle stump. This marked the arrival of Mark Chapman to the crease who started from the word go. Once again Zaman Khan struck for the Nationals getting rid of Aaron Johnson and soon Faheem Ashraf removed Mark Chapman. The big guy Colin de Grandhomme found Shahid Afridi's hands off Farhan Malik's bowling. These fall of wickets brought the young Pakistani all-rounder Hussain Talat and the Canadian legend Rizwan Cheema. Together these two brought the chase back into the Wolves' favour. The specialist death bowling line-up of the Nationals brought chaos into the Wolves camp. But Rizwan Cheema held off one end and brought the target closer to their reach. Shahid Afridi then took matters into his own hands, bowled the 18th over, and got 2 consecutive wickets. The Wolves needed just 2 runs off 8 balls, when Chris Green gave away his wicket, bringing the last batter in the middle. The Nationals went to their most experienced player Shahid Afridi, asking for a miracle, which he almost pulled off. The Wolves scored the winning runs in the second last ball and got 2 crucial points.

In what was supposed to be an exciting match between the table toppers Brampton Wolves and Surrey Jaguars who were looking for their first win, rain played a spoilsport. The match was called off with just 7 overs played in the first innings. Iftikhar won the toss and decided to bowl first. They started strong with the youngster Sheel Patel knocking down the off stump of Aaron Johnson who was in the mood to take on the kid. The dangerous Mark Chapman was removed on a golden duck by Matthew Forde, who trapped him in front of the wicket. The explosive opener from the UAE, Usman Khan played some amazing shots but Iftikhar Ahmed got rid of him when he went for a big swing. Then the rain Gods had a different plan, ending an enthralling day of cricket on a gloomy note.

Anticipation of a crackling contest was in the air, with the two balanced teams set to face off against each other. The toss went in the Tigers' favor and they fielded first, continuing the trend. The first innings got underway in the unlikeliest manner. Kaleem Sana who delivered one of the best spells in the last match for the Tigers, bowled a couple of huge wide deliveries. The Knights opener Rayyan Pathan attempting to unsettle Carlos Brathwaite was caught by Dilpreet Singh. This early strike didn't faze off Fakhar Zaman who was batting beautifully at the other end. Some tight bowling from the Tigers restricted Fakhar from unleashing to the fullest. A fine moment of cricketing brilliance from Dipendra Singh Airee saw the back of Harsh Thaker. This brought the skipper Rassie van der Dussen in the middle with Fakhar Zaman. These two together brought up another 50-run partnership of the innings, which was again broken courtesy of Airee with some little help from Brathwaite. The Tigers didn't give away anything at the death overs, restricting the Knights to a modest total of 149. The two explosive openers from the Tigers - Chris Lynn and Muhammad Waseem were facing Fabian Allen. In a horrid start, the Tigers lost both their openers, getting bowled over by Allen. It was Shakib Al Hasan with the youngster Dilpreet Singh Bajwa who steadied the ship for a while, both playing some delightful strokes. Shakib who wanted to take the attack to the opposition scooped one straight in the air off Ruben Trumpelmann, who was caught by Junaid Siddique at fine leg. Suddenly, the Tigers found themselves at 21/3 with Rutherford coming to the crease within just 3 overs. Both the batters cautiously went about the chase, with Dilpreet moving along with a run-a-ball inning. Again it was Fabian Allen who got rid of Dilpreet Singh but this time with his fielding. Rutherford had a new partner in Dipendra Airee. These two together played with maturity and good match awareness. They cruised along the chase with Airee playing the supporting role, and once settled, Rutherford unleashed his hitting ability. The Knights had no answer to this pair and soon they finished off the match, with Rutherford hitting a six to win it for the Tigers. The Tigers won the match by 6 wickets.

The morning after the rest day, everyone was geared up to take the field, but the rain had a different plan. There was some heavy shower before the start of the play, but it soon cleared out and only 2 overs were reduced per side. At the toss, the Nationals won the toss and decided to put the Jaguars up to bat. Alex Hales got a new partner in Jatinder Singh to open the innings. The aggressive batter from Oman got off to a flyer, playing some exquisite strokes before a sharp catch from JJ Smit got the better of him. Alex Hales looked was not finding the middle of the bat but was soon done by a brilliant delivery from Saad bin Zafar. Some tight and accurate bowling from the Nationals saw the Jaguars lose some quick wickets. A much-awaited contest in the middle was Shahid Afridi bowling to Iftikhar Ahmed, and it was worth watching. The legend Shahid Afridi was unhappy with some sloppy work in the field by the Nationals. With the skipper Iftikhar and the youngster Forde taking charge, the Jaguars scored with a quick run rate that powered them to a good first innings score. The chase for the Nationals was slow, as Spencer Johnson and Matthew Forde were accurate with their line and length. The pressure built up on the Nationals and they lost 2 wickets in an over to Matthew Forde. Gerhard Erasmus too threw away his wicket, scoring just 5 runs. The southpaw Colin Munro was then joined by the Canadian youngster, Armaan Kapoor, who helped his senior partner settle the chase. It was the magician from Nepal, Sandeep Lamichhane who got his side 2 quick wickets, removing both the set batters in a space of 3 balls. The next over Forde got rid of Faheem Ashraf. This brought the Namibian all-rounder JJ Smit to the middle to join Boom Boom Afridi. The Namibian took the role of the aggressor and played some powerful strokes when his countryman Bernard Scholtz got him caught at the boundary. The Canadian captain, Saad bin Zafar was met with an unplayable delivery from Spenser Johnson first up, which he didn't read and got bowled. Some last-over Boom Boom from Afridi, but that couldn't take the Nationals over the line. The Jaguars won this contest by 20 runs.

The clash of the table toppers, both teams coming undefeated into this contest. The Tigers were high on confidence, on the back of their last win against the Knights. The Wolves had their last game washed out, sharing 1 point a piece with the Jaguars. The Tigers won the toss and did exactly as per the trend of the tournament, and decided to bowl first. The Wolves had their opening pair of Aaron Johnson and Usman Khan to open their inning. The pair having the license to attack started positively. But, the Tigers' skipper introduced Shakib Al Hasan early into the attack. He got rid of Aaron Johnson after being hit for a six on the previous ball. The Kiwi international Mark Chapman then joined Usman Khan, and they both started scoring at a brisk rate, bringing up the team's fifty inside the powerplay. The young bowler Aayan Khan from UAE got two wickets in an over for the Tigers, first removing his countryman Usman Khan and then Hussain Talat a few balls later. This brought the Kiwi pair - Mark Chapman and Colin de Grandhomme together. They had a little partnership before Abbas Afridi removed Chapman. At one end CDG was taking on the bowlers and at the other end, he was losing partners. Aayan Khan in his last over of the spell took two wickets on consecutive deliveries, taking his total to 4 wickets. At the late end of the innings, Carlos Brathwaite pulled the leash on the Wolves, with 3 wickets in the last over, restricting them to 143. The chase saw some swing from Tim Southee straight up. Chris Lynn and Muhammad Waseem played a couple of good strokes but Shahid Ahmadzai got the better of Waseem. Shakib Al Hasan came out with intent and hit 3 consecutive boundaries in the first 3 deliveries he played. Then in a battle of Chris (Green) vs. Chris (Lynn) - Green won thanks to a one-handed stunner from Shahid Ahmadzai. The Canadian youngster Dilpreet Singh then came into the middle, and both he and Shakib played some delightful strokes. Shakib trying to put pressure on the Canadian bowler Shahid Ahmadzai got bowled over by a delivery that stayed a bit low. Soon, Tim Southee removed the young Dilpreet Singh, and van Beek got rid of Sherfane Rutherford. The all-rounder from Nepal, Dipendra Singh Airee held the fort for the Tigers but was losing partners at the other end. A sloppy end marked an uncharacteristic day for the Tigers, the Wolves won the match by 15 runs, bowling out the Tigers for just 128.

The stalwarts of T20 Cricket were up against each other. On one side, the Panthers have one of the most dangerous batting line-ups of the tournament. The Nationals have one of the best bowling line-ups of the tournament. The story at the toss continued for the Panthers, with Shoaib Malik losing his consecutive 4th toss of the season. The Nationals once again bowled first and put the Panthers to bat. This time the Panthers changed their opening pair, with the Canadian Navneet Dhaliwal joining the Universe Boss Chris Gayle. The change did nothing to help the Panthers and their run of bad powerplay continued. The Panthers lost 3 wickets of Chris Gayle, Navneet Dhaliwal, Azam Khan, and Cameron Delport under 30 runs. The skipper Shoaib Malik along with James Neesham tried to resurrect the innings, with the pair stitching a 44-run partnership in 53 deliveries. Then a string of wickets in quick succession hampered the Panthers' momentum. It was spin for the Nationals that stopped the Panthers. Some late-order hitting from Tom Cooper helped the Panthers reach a respectable total of 115 runs. The Nationals were on from the very first over. Colin Munro taking the attack to the Panthers was scoring at a rapid pace. Enjoying from the other end was Nicholas Kirton, who attempted a scoop shot, and played the ball into his own stumps. This did not stop Colin Munro from going berserk as he was looking to finish the chase in quick time. The Nationals lost 3 wickets in 9 runs but it was too late for the Panthers to make a comeback. The Nationals skipper Hamza Tariq played one crackling cover drive to finish off the match in style. The Nationals won by 6 wickets.

After a whole day of rain, followed by half a day of wet outfield. We lost 3 matches, as they were abandoned. This was a repeat fixture from the previous day that was lost due to rain. A shortened match it was a 6 overs per side game. The Nationals won the toss and chose to field first. In a match, where you have to be in attack mode from the word go, who better than Chris Lynn and Muhammad Waseem to start off the innings. The Tigers' openers were watchful in the first over, facing Fazalhaq Farooqi, but unleashed their attack from the second over onwards. They took apart Saad bin Zafar, Zaman Khan, Sikandar Raza in the next 3 overs, scoring 53 runs. It was the experienced Faheem Ashraf who got the breakthrough for the Nationals, getting rid of the dangerous Muhammad Waseem. It was Zaman Khan who bowled a fantastic last over, under pressure he executed his plans with pinpoint accuracy. The Tigers posted a target of 78 for the Nationals. The chase was set up in the very first over by Kaleem Sana for the Tigers. The Nationals openers Darren Bravo and JJ Smit had no answers to some tight bowling from Sana. With both the batters struggling to get going and the Tigers' bowlers executing their plans with precision. In an unusual move, the Nationals retired both their openers, sending Sikandar Raza and Hamza Tariq to finish an impossible task. The big West Indian, Andre Russell, bowled the penultimate over, giving away nothing and this made it more difficult for the Nationals to chase the target. It was Akif Raja who bowled the last over for the Tigers and successfully defended 37 runs off the final over. The Tigers won the match by 23 runs.

An unbeaten Brampton Wolves were up against the Vancouver Knights, who have been unlucky after playing some good cricket, find themselves in the bottom half of the table. The Knights got an added boost in their confidence, as Mohammad Rizwan came to the ground straight from the airport ready to play. The Knights skipper Rassie mentioned this during the toss, as he won and chose to field first. The Wolves openers found it hard from the beginning with some tight bowling and fielding from the Knights. In the fourth over, Ruben Trumpelmann opened the gates of the Wolves wickets. The Wolves lost half of their team within 11 runs. The Knights' pacer, Corbin Bosch was bowling superbly, with accurate line and length, and pace to which the Wolves had no answers. The Pakistani all-rounder, Hussain Talat stuck around for some time along with Chris Green. The Knights brought back Ruben for his fourth over, where he broke the partnership and got Hussain Talat out on a bouncer, forcing him to play a pull shot straight to the fielder. It was looking difficult for the Wolves to even cross the mark of 100 runs, but a late blitz from the Wolves tail-enders took them to a score of 129. The Knights' opening pair of Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan looked in no hurry to chase the total. They settled in comfortably and then played their strokes. It was the leading wicket-taker of the tournament, Logan van Beek to provide a breakthrough for the Wolves, getting rid of Fakhar Zaman. The Knights shuffled their batting order, sending Corbin Bosch at number 3. Bosch along with Rizwan cruised their way to the target. The energy from Rizwan was outstanding during the whole match, at no point did it seem that Rizwan travelled from Colombo to Toronto overnight. He was running ones and twos, diving across to make it to the crease, and was determined to chase the total. Both these batters made the chase comfortably without any fuss. The Knights won by 9 wickets in the end with 2.5 overs to spare.

In a must-win match for the Knights, they were up against the Table Toppers Montreal Tigers. The Tigers won the toss and going against the trend of the competition so far, decided to bat first. This decision back-fired for the Tigers, as they lost the skipper Chris Lynn in the very first over. The Canadian youngster Muhammad Kamal found Lynn's middle stump. The Knights bowling unit of Ruben Trumpelmann, Junaid Siddique, and Corbin Bosch was on fire. Trumpelmann started off with a maiden. Dilpreet Singh played a couple of lovely strokes before chopping one onto his stumps. Trumpelmann struck twice in his next over getting, Rutherford and Wijeratne in consecutive deliveries. Muhammad Waseem held one end of the pitch for some time before perishing to Harsh Thaker. Andre Russell joined Dipendra Airee for a couple of overs before Trumpelmann got the Big Man. Next over Siddique got Airee, bringing the score to 90 runs for 7 wickets. The last 3 wickets only got 9 runs for the Tigers. They ended up on 99, giving the Knights a target of 100 runs to chase.
