The premier cricket tournament of North America continued to live up to its billing with Bangla Tigers Mississauga and Montreal Tigers emerging winners against their respective opponents in two keenly contested encounters on the fifth day of action. Electing to bat, table-toppers Montreal Tigers rode on a scintillating unbeaten century from the 21-year-old Dilpreet Bajwa to pile up a challenging 166/7 against David Warner-led Brampton Wolves, who were eventually bowled out for 124. The 42-run victory helped the Tigers stretch their unbeaten run in the tournament to three wins from as many outings, and cement their stay at the top with six points in their kitty. Promoted to open the innings alongside Tigers' skipper Chris Lynn, Bajwa gave glimpses of his destructive best, and things to come as early as the second over of the innings by milking two fours and a six off Jack Jarvis. The Canadian batter later went on to slam as many as 10 hits to the fence and half a dozen sixes in his 55-ball knock to take his side to a healthy score. The rest of the Tigers' batting revolved around the rising Canadian superstar with Parveen Kumar (18), Sherfane Rutherford (15) and Azmatullah Omarzai (13) wielding their bats for quick runs. In response, Omarzai (4/21) began with a double-wicket maiden to send back Aaron Johnson (10) and Beau Webster after his new-ball partner in Canadian left-arm quick Kaleem Sana got rid of the dangerous Warner (2) to leave the opposition reeling at 17/3 at the end of the fifth over. Omarzai returned for another spell and took two more scalps to further squeeze the scoring rate even as George Munsey raised a lone battle for the Wolves with a 34-ball 54 but regular fall of wickets never kept them in contention for a win. Bangla Tigers pip Toronto Nationals by 2 runs Earlier in the day, Nicholas Kirton's fighting half-century went in vain as the Toronto Nationals agonisingly fell short by two runs in their chase of Bangla Tigers Mississauga's 168/7 in an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Mississauga thus registered their second win of this year's GT20 Canada and climbed to the third spot on the standings with four points from three matches. Toronto are also on four points but are at the second spot due to a better run rate. They suffered their second defeat of the campaign and have registered an equal number of victories. Mississauga were off to a steady start with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Muhammad Waseem stitching together an opening partnership of 47 runs before Toronto managed to peg the Tigers back with three quick wickets. David Wiese then led a lower-order fightback with a whirlwind unbeaten 38 to help the Bangla Tigers to a healthy total. The Toronto chase was jolted by some early setbacks with the top order back in the dug-out by the end of the powerplay with only 38 runs on the board. Canadian national team skipper Nicholas Kirton spearheaded a dramatic revival for Toronto with a quickfire 74 off 54 deliveries, smashing seven boundaries and four sixes along the way. However, he did not receive too much support from the other end. Romario Shepherd (24 not out off 12 balls) was the only other lower-order batter to put up some resistance as Toronto fell tantalisingly short after a nail-biting final over.
