The Montreal Royal Tigers registered a comfortable seven-wicket victory over the Mississauga Masters in the second match of the Canada Super60 2025 tournament held in Vancouver. Chasing 114, the Tigers reached their target in just 8.4 overs, continuing the tournament’s trend of high-scoring, fast-paced cricket.
Mississauga Masters Struggle to Build Momentum
After being asked to bat first, the Mississauga Masters managed only 113 for 8 in their allotted 10 overs. Despite a steady start, they lost wickets at regular intervals, preventing any major partnerships. The middle order failed to accelerate, and the scoring rate dipped during the crucial overs.
Allrounder Isuru Udana proved instrumental with the ball for Montreal, picking up key wickets that broke the Masters’ rhythm. His variations and control made scoring difficult, limiting boundaries during the final stretch. The Masters finished with a below-par total on a pitch that offered decent bounce but little margin for error.

Partnerships through the middle overs kept the chase smooth, and with eight balls to spare, Montreal sealed the victory at 115 for 3. Their calculated aggression and smart running between wickets made the difference.
