BRAMPTON: Andrew Tye and Thomas Draca decimated Bangla Tigers Mississauga’s batting lineup before David Warner led Brampton Wolves to a dominating eight-wicket victory in the 14th match of the GT20 Canada 2024.
Wolves’ captain David Warner’s decision to bowl first bore fruits as his bowlers ran through the Tigers’ batting lineup and booked them for a paltry 79 in 13 overs.
Leading the way with the ball were Tye and Draca, who shared six wickets between them.
But Tye was supported by Jack Jarvis in the early phase of the phase as the duo swept the Tigers’ top order before eventually restricting them to 13/5 in 4.2 overs.
Following the early debacle, Iftikhar Ahmed put together a fighting partnership with David Wiese and added 27 runs for the sixth wicket.
The pair showed notable resilience against the ruthless Wolves’ bowling attack until Draca dismissed both of them in his successive overs to leave the Tigers reeling at 49/7.
Iftikhar remained the top scorer for the Tigers with a 17-ball 19 while Wiese scored 10.
The Tigers then lost two more wickets before Shoriful Islam offered some fightback with a four-ball 12.
Andrew Tye and Thomas Draca picked three wickets each for the Wolves while Abhijai Mansingh and Jack Jarvis bagged two each.
Chasing a modest 80-run target, the Wolves comfortably knocked the winning runs for the loss of just two wickets and 52 balls to spare.
The home side, however, had a contrasting start to the pursuit as they lost their opener Kobe Herft for a duck in the first over.
But Warner soon put the Wolves in control when he put together an anchoring 41-run partnership for the second wicket with Jack Jarvis, who scored a scratchy 11 off 16.
Wolves’ skipper David Warner was joined by Beau Webster and the duo combined for an unbeaten 39 partnership to steer their side to a resounding victory.
Warner remained the top-scorer for the Wolves with an unbeaten 44 off 36 deliveries, laced up with six fours and a six while Webster made a 15-ball 23.
For the Tigers, Ali Khan and Wiese could pick up a wicket.
The eight-wicket victory lifted Brampton Wolves to replace Bangla Tigers Mississauga to claim the second spot in GT20 Canada 2024 standings with six points in five matches.
