Montreal Tigers vs Toronto Nationals Team Preview & Squads
Montreal Tigers
Their bowlers’ collective success on this sluggish surface has allowed them to dominate the opposition; batting hasn’t been their strongest strength. Azmatullah Omarzai has been their most effective bowler, claiming 10 wickets at an economy of just 5 in just 5 innings.
Aayan Afzal Khan and Kaleem Sana have also been excellent, taking nine wickets apiece at extremely economical rates. These three are the backbone of Montreal’s bowling attack and will be key figures in the championship game. Dilpreet Bajwa, who has amassed 206 runs at an average of 68.66 and a strike rate of 144 in 6 innings, has virtually single-handedly guided their batting team.

Despite having scored 123 runs apiece this year, Unmukt Chand and Colin Munro have been the backbone of Toronto’s batting unit. Munro, who top-scored in Qualifier 2 with a brilliant 36 off 20 balls, appears to be gaining some momentum.
Their bowling has been outstanding throughout, spearheaded by Junaid Siddique, who has taken 13 wickets at an economy rate of 7.94 in 7 innings. Romario Shepherd, who took 12 wickets at an economy of 7.29 in just 6 innings, has been a great help to him.
Jason Behrendorff is another bowler you should be wary of. This season, the Australian left-arm bowler has claimed 8 wickets at a pitiful 4.44 economy.

Montreal Tigers vs Toronto Nationals outfield report
CAA Centre, Brampton, Ontario
The chasing team has prevailed in the last five games that have been played at the CAA Centre in Ontario. Considering the recent records, we believe both captains will be inclined to field first today, even though batting first is always the safer option in a final.
This week, rain caused several matches to be ruined. In Ontario, though, it appears like the weather has cleared up. According to the prediction, the day will be breezy and partly cloudy with no chance of rain. It’s difficult to bat at the slower pitch of the CAA Centre in Ontario. The early overs present the greatest chances for scoring when the pitch is firm and there is a new ball.
