From RMallsports: Vancouver Knights eye spot in Global T20 Canada cricket final after slow start.
The Knights’ fortunes seemed to turn with the arrival of Pakistan international Mohammed Rizwan, who had back-to-back half-centuries in his first two games. That, plus the steady hand of captain Rassie van der Dussen, has Vancouver in striking position again.
The Jaguars, who along with the Mississauga Panthers are first-time participants, lost their first game to Montreal but have been unbeaten since. Ammar Khalid, one of the Canadian players on the team, has learned greatly playing alongside the likes of captain Iftikhar Ahmed and Litton Das.Article content
“ is one of the most highly decorated coaches in India,” Khalid said. “He was the coach with the Winnipeg Hawks when they won the last edition. If there’s anyone who understands winning, momentum, keeping a dressing room together, it’s this man here.“The senior pros that we have are also guys who are used to playing at the highest level in front of big crowds.
“The first game against Montreal when we lost, I was personally very down because I wasn’t happy with how I performed,” he said. “The way these guys pick you up and support you and help you look at the bigger picture makes it easier.”A couple of bowlers from ICC Associate Nations could decide this game, Ruben Trumpelmann, the Namibian international, has taken 10 wickets for the Knights while Sandeep Lamichhane of Nepal has the same for the Jaguars.
