Team Previews
Vancouver Knights
Rassie van der Dussen-led side finds themselves in the fourth spot on the points table. Having won one of the two matches they've played so far, they've amassed two points, but their net run rate stands at a subpar -0.229. Their recent victory over Mississauga Panthers, achieved off the last ball, gives them a much-needed morale boost going into the match against the Tigers.
Montreal Tigers
On the other hand, the Tigers, led by Chris Lynn, are in second place with four points and a positive net run rate of +1.314. They have yet to taste defeat in the tournament, proving their might with a win over the Panthers where they comfortably chased down a target of 141 with 25 balls to spare in their last match.

Pitch Report
