The inaugural season of the Canada Super 60 delivered a thrilling day of high-octane cricket at BC Place, as three teams cemented their places in the semi-finals with commanding victories.
De Plooy powers Mississauga Masters past Whiterock Warriors
Opener Leus de Plooy smashed a sensational 68 off 26 balls, including eight sixes and three fours, to guide the Mississauga Masters to a 47-run win over the Whiterock Warriors. Partnered by Ravi Bopara (20 off 13) and Saif Zaib (31 off 12), the Masters posted 153/4 in their 10 overs.
Chasing a formidable total, the Warriors’ top order gave glimpses of hope with Chris Lynn (37 off 17), David Malan (19 off 12), and Joe Clarke (19 off 11), but the middle order collapsed. Ali Khan (2/22) and Rushil Ugarkar (3/24) claimed key wickets, while Shubham Rajane bowled a remarkable spell of 3 wickets in 5 balls, skittling the Warriors for 106 in 9.5 overs.
Bajwa’s blitz lifts Montreal Royal Tigers
Dilpreet Bajwa fired a quick-fire 57 off 18 balls, featuring five sixes, to set up a 43-run win for the Montreal Royal Tigers against the Brampton Blitz. Bajwa’s innings, backed by Shreyas Movva (22 off 12), helped the Tigers post 130/7.
Brampton’s chase never gained momentum, with David Wiese (23 off 18) and Roelof van der Merwe (22 off 6) top-scoring in a total of 87/6. Isuru Udana was instrumental with the ball, finishing with 2/12.
Pienaar’s explosive knock drives Vancouver Kings past Toronto Sixers
The Vancouver Kings cruised to an eight-wicket win over the Toronto Sixers. Jaskarandeep Singh (4/10) dismantled the Sixers’ top order, restricting them to 96/9, despite a fighting 30 from Jason Roy.
In reply, Obus Pienaar smashed an unbeaten 67 off 18 balls, with nine sixes, helping the Kings chase the target in 6.5 overs. Max Chu (15 off 10) and Moeen Ali (12)* provided crucial support.
