Vancouver, Canada – At BC Place on October 9, the Canada Super 60 kicked off with a bang, turning the iconic stadium into a buzzing hub of cricket excitement.
The first match saw the Brampton Blitz face off against the Toronto Sixers. Toronto chased a target of 137 in just 8 wickets, wrapping up the game with three balls to spare. Openers Jason Roy and Alex Hales gave the Sixers a solid start, building a 71‑run partnership that set the tone. Hales finished with an explosive 86 from 32 balls—eight fours and eight sixes—while Daniel Sams added an unbeaten 19. Brampton’s top scorers were James Vince (56 off 25) and Martin Guptill (36 off 15), but the Sixers’ bowlers, especially Sams with 1/15, stole the show.
Later, the Montreal Royal Tigers chased 114 comfortably against the Mississauga Masters, taking the game by 7 wickets with eight balls left. Mississauga lost wickets steadily and finished 113/8, with Isuru Udana leading the break‑down at 4/16 in his 2 overs. The Tigers opened the chase with a 46‑run partnership between Josh Brown (29 off 15) and Tom Moores (31 off 12). A brief slump saw them at 69/3, but Dilpreet Bajwa (26 off 13) and Ryan Higgins (16 off 8) steadied the innings, securing victory.
The Vancouver Kings delivered a dominant performance against the White Rock Warriors. The Kings posted 156/2, after a shaky start that saw opener Max Chu dismissed early. Nauman Anwar and Moeen Ali then powered a 107‑run partnership, with Anwar 49 off 21 and Ali 63 off 27. Captain Dwaine Pretorius added a quick 18* off six balls to finish the innings. In reply, the Warriors stumbled when former India opener Shikhar Dhawan was out for a pair. Chris Lynn and Dawid Malan tried to rebuild, but a collapse after Lynn’s dismissal left the Warriors at 77/5. Jordan Thompson chipped in with 29 off 12, but White Rock fell short at 131, giving the Kings a 25‑run win. Vancouver bowlers—Tajinder Singh, Jaskaran Singh, and Dwaine Pretorius—each claimed three wickets, setting a strong tone for the rest of the tournament.
Day 2 promises more action, with Brampton Blitz taking on Mississauga Masters, Vancouver Kings facing Montreal Tigers, and Toronto Kings battling White Rock Warriors. Fans can look forward to another day of fast‑paced, entertaining cricket at BC Place.
