Toronto Nationals vs Montreal Tigers Prediction: Team with toss will bowl first

Toronto Nationals and Montreal Tigers are going head to head in the 19th Match of Global T20 League 2024 Canada at CAA Centre - Sports and Entertainment Complex - Brampton, Canada on 05 Aug 2024. Team with toss will bowl first.Who will win this game of cricket?

The Toronto Nationals have not been able to hold on to their performance throughout the campaign. They won two in a row and lost the next two. Their game against Montreal Tigers was rain-interrupted; initially, it was curtailed.

Left-hand batsman Nicholas Kirton has shown early glimpses of being a strong contributor, making 95 in his first four innings of this year's Global T20 Canada League. Romario Shepherd has played for a bevy of T20 teams around the world, including MI New York in the upstart Major League Cricket.

The spotlight, irrevocably then, will turn toward Colin Munro, the captain of the team and opening batsman, for his enormous experience in the game of T20 cricket and through different batting conditions. With more than 400 T20 matches to his credit, Munro is a seasoned campaigner who is all set to lead from the front.

The Montreal team will play back-to-back matches after playing a game on Sunday. The Tigers are at the top of the table with seven points from four rounds without a single loss. This means Dilpreet Bajwa, a Canadian international, has been one of the top scorers in the tournament, with 192 runs and only one dismissal in four games. Slow left-arm orthodox bowling by Aayan Afzal Khan is supposed to be pulsating for the Toronto team; he has taken eight wickets in his first three bowling innings. The Afghan all-rounder, Azmatullah Omarzai, has been incisive with the ball and proved his potency against Brampton Wolves with returns of four for 21.

This is going to be a day game and will be hosted at CAA Centre. The Toronto Nationals won the toss in their previous match against each other and elected to bowl first, perhaps due to the conditions on the day.

Monday is expected to be a day of rain showers, with a 24 percent chance of precipitation. It will be warm and very humid. The chance of rain in the lead-up to the match could actually favor the team that bowls first, as conditions may suit some movement with the ball.

The Toronto Nationals have chased down 110 runs on both occasions they have won in the tournament. However, they have been an inconsistent side this entire season and might find it difficult against the Montreal Tigers, who have been in excellent form. Defending Champions Montreal Tigers have given a glimpse of why they were Champions last year and currently are more likely to be the favored team because of their performances this season.
