Bangla Tigers Mississauga vs Vancouver Knights Prediction: Vancouver is in lots of trouble

Bangla Tigers Mississauga and Vancouver Knights are going to face each other in the Match 4 of Global T20 League 2024 Canada at CAA Centre - Sports and Entertainment Complex, Brampton, Canada on 27th July, 2024. Vancouver is in lots of trouble after players withdrew their names from the team in the tournament. Who will win this game of cricket?

The team has rebranded from Mississauga Panthers for this season in search of a change in fortune. Captain Shakib al Hasan is hopeful of this change working in the favor of his side after failing to win a single game last season. With this new look to the team, the fresh start will be more desirable, as much is expected from the opening pair of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Muhammad Waseem. Hazratullah Zazai is also expected to do well at No. 3 and stitch partnerships with Pargat Singh and Shakib Al Hasan. The team expects some quick runs from David Weise, Tajinder Singh Dhillon, and Iftikhar Ahmed. As far as bowling is concerned, the team struggled in the last season but with the new ball, Odean Smith and Dillon Heyliger are hopeful for a strong start. Shakib aims to deliver tight spells in the middle overs along with Tajinder Singh Dhillon, while David Weise and Iftikhar Ahmed round off the strong bowling contingent of the team.

Khawaja's team has had a tough start to the tournament, especially after that disappointing batting performance in the last game against the Toronto Nationals, which resulted in an 8-wicket defeat. Only scoring 110 runs while batting first, they really have to do better in this upcoming match. Khawaja is eyeing a better display from his batsmen, especially from himself and Reeza Hendricks, both of whom struggled in the last game. The team will also bank on Harsh Thaker, Munid Ahmed, and Nitish Kumar to contribute in the middle order, while Dwaine Pretorius and Michael Rippon look to score quickly. With the experience of Mohammad Amir and Dwaine Pretorius in the line-up, the team will bank on early breakthroughs to pressure the Bangla Tigers. Michael Rippon and Sandeep Lamichhane, with their controlling act, will play big roles in the middle overs, while pacers Paul van Meekeren and Thaker round the bowling attack for them.

The Vancouver Knights are under pressure for performance in the upcoming game after their poor show in the last match. They have no powerhouse hitters to drive them home; though it is expected that a few key players will come good in this game. Contrary to this, Bangla Tigers Mississauga has a fine lineup of batsmen, backed by superb bowling resources in experience.
