Wickets 111

With a played 6, won 2, lost 4 record that was almost
identical to that of the beleaguered Edmonton
Royals, the Montreal Tigers will also be hoping for
a much-improved performance during this year’s
GT20 Canada Tournament. Led by the former Australian
T20 practitioner George Bailey and with the
likes of the overly experienced Sri Lankan Thisara
Perera as well as the exciting West Indians Sunil
Narine and Kemo Paul included in its 2019 roster,
the Tigers will be hoping to roar much, much louder

be overly familiar with the local playing conditions.
Nikhil Dutta and Dillon Heyliger will be foremost
among the Canadians that the Tigers will be expecting
outstanding performances from.
Interestingly, except for Narine, none of the Tigers
outstanding batters from last year have been retained
for this year’s Tournament. Moises Heriques
221 runs Avg 36.83 SR 113.92; Sikander Raza 144
Avg 36 SR 138.4; George Worker 143 Avg 23.8 SR
111.7 and Sunil Narine 142 Avg 23.6 SR
184.7 were the Montreal Tigers’ best
batters in 2019.
The Tigers will also undoubtedly miss
all of the guile and experience that Sri
Lanka’s Lasith Malinga provided during
the 2018 Season as the Franchise’s outstanding
bowler. Malinga captured 13
Wickets at a measly average of 11.85.
