Toronto Nationals will square off against Surrey Jaguars in Match 8 of the ongoing third season of Global T20 Canada (GT20 2023) on Tuesday, July 25. The high octane clash will take place at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario.

Team Previews

Toronto Nationals

The third placed Toronto Nationals kicked-off their campaign with a win in their first game against Vancouver Knights. However, they could not sustain their winning momentum and fell short in their second outing against an in-form Brampton Wolves, in what was a low-scoring thriller.

The Nationals will now look to bounce back in their next outing against the Jaguars after a disappointing close defeat in the last game. They will be keen to get back into the winning ways and keep themselves as one of the top contenders in the knockouts race.

Surrey Jaguars

On the other hand, Surrey Jaguars have also played two games in the tournament so far but are yet to open their account. They started their tournament with a defeat against Montreal Tigers and the game against Brampton Wolves ended without any result after a major rain interruption.

Captain Iftikhar Ahmed will be hoping his team to leave the first two games behind and build a winning momentum from here to stay alive in the competition. They are currently placed second last in the points table with one point and badly need two points against a strong Toronto side to keep themselves alive for the knockouts.

Pitch Report

The surface at the CAA Centre in Brampton has not been an easy one for the batters. Both spinners and seamers have found assistance from the surface throughout the tournament so far. Batters find it difficult to time the ball but can play their shots once settled. The team winning the toss should bowl first. The first innings score is expected to be around 150.
