At the CAA Centre in Brampton on August 3, 2024, Brampton Wolves and Bangla Tigers Mississauga will play in the 14th game of the Canada T20 League. Except for a 33-run loss to the reigning champions Montreal in their season opener, the Bangla Tigers Mississauga have been outstanding thus far.
The Bangla Tigers are ranked second in the standings after winning three of their first four games of the current campaign. The Brampton Wolves won just one more game out of their next three meetings, despite having a strong start against Surrey in the opening game. The outcome of this game will determine whether the Wolves defeat the Bangla Tigers or keep them among the best teams.
Brampton Wolves vs Bangla Tigers Mississauga Team Preview & Squads
Brampton Wolves
About halfway through the competition, the Brampton Wolves are in a precarious situation. Their season began with a convincing 59-run victory over Surrey, courtesy of 69 runs from just 44 deliveries from George Munsey and 3 for 18 from Thomas Draca in four overs.
The status of the Brampton Wolves declined after that. They were thoroughly defeated in the next two games. With 40 balls remaining, they were trailing Toronto by 8 wickets while only managing to defend a pitiful 110 runs. They were chasing 167 runs when they were defeated by a massive 42-run margin by the reigning champions, Montreal. George Munsey, who scored 54 runs out of the 124 runs the Wolves scored as a team, was the only member of the batting lineup to stand up.
But they did manage to win their second game of the season versus Vancouver in their fourth game. Except for Andrew Tye, who averaged over 12 an over, every bowler was incredibly frugal. Beau Webster and Nick Hobson, who were chasing 150, rediscovered some form at bat and helped the Wolves cross the finish line in roughly two overs. The Wolves will want to play the formidable Bangla Tigers similarly.

Bangla Tigers Mississauga
The Bangla Tigers Mississauga are now in second place in the points table, barely behind the Montreal Tigers, the defending champions, based on Net Run Rate, after three straight victories.
The Bangla Tigers Mississauga rebounded well from their 33-run defeat to the Montreal Tigers, defeating Surrey, Toronto, and Vancouver by respective margins of 22 runs, 2 runs, and 4 wickets.
Despite Nicholas Kirton’s 74 off 54, the bowling team persevered in the difficult game against Toronto to win by just 2 runs. His pivotal wicket was Shakib Al Hasan.
The bowlers, particularly David Wiese and Shoriful Islam, caused havoc in their previous match against Surrey, limiting the opposition to a meager 101 and dismissing eight of their hitters with single figures. The Bangla Tigers found the chase difficult, but with one over and four wickets remaining, they managed to cross the finish line.
For a higher NRR, the Bangla Tigers would have wanted to end that match sooner. It was still a victory. The Bangla Tigers appear to be in a stronger position to defeat the Wolves in this game because to their potent bowling unit and favorable circumstances.
