Surrey Jaguars Secure Third Win as Liton Das Shines with a Match-Winning Fifty. After a series of lackluster performances in the previous three matches, Liton Das delivered a stunning display for Surrey Jaguars, smashing his first Global T20 Canada fifty to lead his team to a convincing six-wicket victory over Brampton Wolves in Brampton on Tuesday.

Having chosen to field, Surrey Jaguars restricted Brampton Wolves to a modest 128 for nine. Liton’s sensational 45-ball 59-run knock then ensured Surrey Jaguars chased down the target with 11 balls to spare, securing their third win in this edition of the tournament.

During the chase, Surrey Jaguars faced an early setback, losing three wickets for just 21 runs in 4.3 overs. However, Liton played a pivotal role, forming a crucial 99-run fourth-wicket partnership with Pakistan’s Iftikhar Ahmed to stabilize the innings.

Liton started cautiously, going scoreless in the initial five deliveries, but gradually found his rhythm, smashing his first boundary in the fifth over and reaching his fifty off 40 deliveries.

Despite being dismissed in the 18th over, after Surrey Jaguars’ victory seemed almost certain, Liton’s innings included three boundaries and three maximums. Skipper Iftikhar remained unbeaten on 38 off 41 deliveries.

In the bowling effort that restricted Brampton Wolves to a low total, Ammar Khalid, Matthew Forde, and Ayaan Khan each claimed two wickets, contributing to Surrey Jaguars’ dominant performance.

Shakib Al Hasan’s Montreal Tigers dominated the Global T20 Canada table, achieving their third consecutive victory with a six-wicket win against Vancouver Knights in Brampton on Tuesday.

Despite moderate performances from both Liton Das and Shakib, their respective teams still emerged victorious in the Global T20 Canada matches yesterday.

Shakib had an off day with the ball, conceding 41 runs without taking any wickets in his four-over spell as Vancouver Knights set a target of 149 for four.

In the batting department, Shakib could only manage 12 runs off eight deliveries and departed early in the innings, leaving Montreal Tigers in a challenging position at three for 21 after 2.5 overs. However, Sherfane Rutherford’s exceptional unbeaten knock of 84 off 53 balls turned the game around, leading the Tigers to victory with 11 deliveries to spare.

Meanwhile, batting at number three, Liton scored a brisk 20-ball 21, including a boundary and a maximum, propelling his team Surrey Jaguars to a 20-run win over Toronto Nationals in a reduced 18-over match at the same venue.

The Jaguars posted 141 for six in 18 overs and skillfully restricted their opponents to 121 for nine.
