BRAMPTON, Ont. — Guyana all-rounder Romario Shepherd took four wickets and then hit back-to-back fours to lead the Toronto Nationals into the final of the Global T20 cricket tournament with a five-wicket win Saturday over the Brampton Wolves.
Toronto will face the defending champion Montreal Tigers in Sunday's championship game at the CAA Centre.
Montreal was slated to play Brampton on Friday in a battle of the tournament's top two teams, with the winner moving directly into Sunday's final and the loser facing either No. 3 Bangla Tigers Mississauga or No. 4 Toronto Nationals, who were slated to meet Friday in an elimination game, on Saturday to decide the second finalist.
After several pitch inspections, the umpires and match referee decided that a"super over" would be played at 7:30 p.m. local time to decide the elimination game. Toronto Nationals captain Colin Munro was present for the subsequent coin toss but Bangla Tigers Mississauga skipper Shakib Al Hasan, apparently unhappy at the decision, opted not to attend.
