Nepali cricket all-rounder, Dipendra Singh Airee, played a significant role as he helped the Montreal Tigers defeat the Mississauga Panthers by 7 wickets in the Global T20 Canada.
Chasing a target of 141 runs in 15.5 overs, the Tigers secured their second consecutive victory. Captain Chris Lynn contributed 64 runs off 45 balls with 9 fours and 1 six, while Shakib Al Hasan scored 36 runs off 24 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes, and Sherfane Rutherford was dismissed for 27 runs.
Earlier, after losing the toss, the Mississauga Panthers set a target of 140 runs in the allotted 20 overs, losing 6 wickets. James Neesham played an outstanding innings, scoring 54 runs off 35 balls with 4 fours and 2 sixes, but Dipendra Singh Airee was not given the chance to play in this match.
In his first match against the Scarborough Jaguars, Dipendra Singh Airee had scored the highest runs, 28 runs off 22 balls. The decision to keep him on the bench was taken by the Tigers, allowing Mythic Sports to get an opportunity.
On the other hand, Sandeep Lamichhane’s participation in the game between Brampton Wolves and Vancouver Knights was disrupted due to the weather. Brampton Wolves made a decision to bowl first after winning the toss, but the game was stopped at the 7.2 overs mark with Vancouver Knights at 50-3 due to rain.
Sandeep Lamichhane took the ball in his hand for his first over and gave away three runs in his initial two balls before rain intervened, and he did not get to bowl his full over. He is set to play against Trinbago Knight Riders in the evening.
Dipendra Singh Airee’s team, the Montreal Tigers, will play against the Brampton Wolves at 1:15 AM against the brutal Knight Riders.
