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.
Predicted Lineup of Bangla Tigers Mississauga
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Hazratullah Zazai, Muhammad Waseem, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Pargat Singh, Gurpal Sidhu, Iftikhar Ahmed, David Wiese, Shoriful Islam, Odean Smith, Dillon Heyliger
Montreal Tigers form
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.
Predicted Lineup of Montreal Tigers
Chris Lynn (c), Tim Seifert (wk), Yuvraj Hundal, Gerhard Erasmus, Charanjit Randhawa, Azmatullah Omarzai, Aayan Afzal Khan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Zahoor Khan, Naveen Ul Haq, Ben Manenti
