The fourth edition of the Global T20 Canada is scheduled to commence on Friday, July 26, with its conclusion slated for Sunday, August 11. Hosted by Cricket Canada, this prestigious cricket tournament will feature a total of 25 matches contested among six teams at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario.
The Vancouver Knights have demonstrated consistent success, reaching the semifinals in all three editions of the Global T20 Canada. They claimed the championship in the inaugural 2018 season, finished as runners-up in 2019, and secured third place in the subsequent season in 2023.
The Vancouver Knights were defeated in Qualifier 2 by the Montreal Tigers as they failed to defend a total of 137 runs. The Tigers successfully chased down the target in 19.3 overs, with Sherfane Rutherford scoring 48 runs from 34 deliveries.
Throughout the tournament, notable performances for the Knights came from Mohammad Rizwan, who contributed 39 runs off 33 balls, and Corbin Bosch, who scored 36 runs from 28 deliveries, distinguishing themselves not only in this crucial match but across the entire competition with 190 and 179 runs.
In reply, Junaid Siddique demonstrated his effectiveness with figures of 4/22, while Corbin Bosch and Fabian Allen recorded figures of 2/18 and 2/12 respectively. Siddique showcased his bowling prowess throughout the season, amassing a total of 15 wickets from eight innings. Additionally, other bowlers made notable contributions, with Ruben Trumpelmann claiming 13 wickets and Corbin Bosch securing 11 wickets during the season.
Following the previous season, the team has retained two players: Ruben Trumpelmann and Harsh Thaker. Mohammad Rizwan was also retained, while Babar Azam was initially selected but the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) declined their No Objection Certificate (NOC) due to international commitments.
Vancouver Knights are to face Toronto Nationals in the inaugural match of this edition on Friday, July 26. However, they have not yet finalized their selections for the roles of captain and wicketkeeper.
Vancouver Knights are a team to look forward to this season and it will be interesting to see how the players go about their business.
