Bangla Tigers Mississauga vs Montreal Tigers Prediction: Bangla Tigers failed to win a single game

The Match 2 of Global T20 League 2024 Canada is slated to take place between Bangla Tigers Mississauga and Montreal Tigers at CAA Centre - Sports and Entertainment Complex, Brampton, Canada on 26th July, 2024. Bangla Tigers failed to win a single game in the previous edition of this competition. Who will emerge victorious in this cricket game?

The Bangla Tigers Mississauga have made sweeping changes in its squad for the 2024 GT20 Canada season. Bangladesh star Shakib Al Hassan has been appointed captain for the upcoming GT20 Canada Season. Second, the franchise added experienced players like Iftikhar Ahmed and David Wiese to its lineup. Wiese brings dependability to its bowling attack. This year, there is an inclination toward local all-rounders like Pargat Singh, Tajinder Dhillon, and Gurpal Sidhu, who will turn out to be the main players for the team during the current season.

Another player who has been inducted into the squad from the UAE is Muhammad Waseem, and he is a player to watch out for owing to his performances in T20 cricket. The opening pair is expected to comprise the Afghan pair of Rahanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai since both of them are known for explosive batting.

It will be Shoriful Islam anchoring the bowling attack with Odean Smith, while the additional local talent in Dillon Heyliger backs it. The bowling lineup of the Bangla Tigers also seems to present an exacting challenge to opponents with the mix of all-rounders in the team.

Montreal has decided to retain Chris Lynn following the latter's brilliant performance in their championship title win in the previous season. The franchise, however, let go of Shakib Al Hasan and Muhammad Waseem; both the players have joined Bangla Tigers Mississauga ahead of 2024. Their other batting all-rounder is Sherfane Rutherford, but he is yet to confirm his availability in this match. In case Rutherford is not able to turn out, Montreal have in the all-rounders Gerhard Erasmus and Azmatullah Omrazai as options. The presence of multiple bowling all-rounders this season lends more depth to Montreal's batting and more options for their captain from the bowling point of view.

Another major change is the severance with both the wicket-keepers and signing up the vastly experienced T20 batsman Tim Seifert. Look out for Mohammad Saifuddin, the Bangladeshi bowling all-rounder who can prove to be a key player in the bowling attack. Other emerging bowlers in the squad, such as Naveen-ul-Haq and Zahoor Khan, could make their presence felt. With a good roster and an excellent bowling lineup at its credit, Montreal does look well-prepared to take on the Bangla Tigers in the upcoming games.

Both teams are good at batting, but Montreal Tigers are exceptional when it comes to bowling, which makes them a more formidable team to play with in this upcoming match. Our calculations and analysis suggest that Montreal Tigers are going to win and are thus our favorite team to win.
