Global T20 Canada, Toronto Nationals vs Montreal Tigers, 15th Match: 5 Talking Points

#3 TTN’s early wobble

Smith was out early as TTN slipped to 27/3 in the 5th over.

Johnson Charles hasn’t had a great tournament. He has failed to get the big scores and also has failed to give the Nationals a good start at the top more often than not.

He once again failed in this game as he was out for a duck and Lasith Malinga gave his team an early breakthrough. Kamran Akmal who was playing his second game of the tournament struck three boundaries in the next few overs. Steve Smith who had walked in at 3 didn’t look fluent and was eventually dismissed by countryman Peter Siddle.

Kamran Akmal was then dismissed in the next over by Moises Henriques as the Nationals slipped to 27/3.
