There was no action possible for the first day of the playoffs so Montreal Tigers were given a walkover victory over the Brampton Wolves and Bangla Tigers Mississauga received the same against the Toronto Nationals so now the pair play off for a place in the final against defending champions Montreal.

BRAMPTON WOLVES FORM: THE SO-CALLED ‘HOSTS’
The Brampton Wolves do have the supposed advantage of the entire tournament being played at the TD Cricket Arena in Brampton. They have been generally impressive albeit inconsistent throughout the campaign. They managed a six-wicket victory over the Surrey Jaguars in their most recent played match a couple of weeks ago.
LAST THREE: AAWWW
BANGLA TIGERS MISSISSAUGA FORM: MUCH-IMPROVED MISSISSAUGA
TEXT HERE
After being renamed Bangla Tigers Mississauga from Mississauga Panthers last season, they have gone from a franchise that collected just one point from seven matches to a team now really challenging for the title. They also defeated the Surrey Jaguars in a chase in the last game that they completed.
LAST THREE: AAWLW
BRAMPTON WOLVES BETTING ANALYSIS
The Brampton Wolves have quite a few impressive names in their top order with captain Dave Warner, albeit in really poor form, as well as Canada’s Aaron Johnson, Beau Webster of Australia and Scottish international George Munsey. Munsey to be their top batter again would appear a good bet for this one.
The aforementioned Webster has been threatening and well controlled with both the bat and the ball and he does seem their best bet to be the man to take two or more wickets from the Wolves attack.
BANGLA TIGERS MISSISSAUGA BETTING ANALYSIS
Bangla Tigers Mississauga have been waiting for Afghanistan opener and ICC T20 World Cup top run scorer Rahmanullah Gurbaz to take it to the next level and, after being moved down to three, he did show better signs so backing Gurbaz to score 30+ in the innings would seem a good bet.
Their top run scorer in that match, captain Shakib Al Hasan, has been a fading force with the bat but he did top score in the last match. The best bet for Al Hasan, though, is to focus on his excellent bowling with it being a good shout that he takes two or more wickets in the match.
BRAMPTON WOLVES VS BANGLA TIGERS MISSISSAUGA EXPERT PREDICTION
The league phase fixture between these two teams was abandoned without a ball being bowled the other day. The Brampton Wolves have been steady and did finish above Bangla Tigers Mississauga in the Global T20 Canada table but Mississauga will feel they have the quality and have made the leap to be the biggest challenger to Montreal Tigers and backing Mississauga looks a good bet for this one.
