GT20 Canada Season 4 | Match - 8 | Toronto Nationals vs Bangla Tigers Mississauga | Highlights

#gt20canada #globalt20
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 Global T20 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 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.
