The stage is fully set for Match No. 9 of the Canada Super 60 League 2026, as the Mississauga Masters (MM) will be up against the might of the Montreal Royal Tigers (MRT) at the BC Place Stadium, Vancouver, on Friday, October 02.

The Mississauga Masters are entering this contest on the back of a dominating victory against the White Rock Warriors, where they beat the side by nine wickets to chase down the 100-run target in only 4.2 overs. This marked their second consecutive win of the season, and now they will be excited to make it three on the bounce.

The Montreal Royal Tigers, on the other hand, have been in some forgettable form in the season. The side have lost both the games they have played so far, with their campaign starting off with a defeat at the hands of the Toronto Sixers, followed by a loss against the Vancouver Anchors. Now, they will be desperate for their first win of the season.

While it is no surprise anymore that the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver stages one of the most flat tracks in the world for a run-fest on offer. The upcoming game is slated to have a similar story on Friday. The team winning the toss here should be looking to bowl first since chasing has proven to be a relatively easier task on this wicket.

MM vs MRT: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Josh Brown

The most vital cog in the Montreal Royal Tigers’ batting line-up is their opening batter, Josh Brown. The youngster has smashed 88 runs in two games at an average of 88.00 already and will be looking forward to adding a few more to his name in the upcoming contest. Brown is certainly capable enough to play a fiery innings and will want to capitalise on his excellent form to score big.

Probable Best Bowler: Isuru Udana

There is no doubt about the skills that Isuru Udana possesses, especially in T10 cricket, where each ball is as important as the other. With an aggregate of three wickets to his name in a couple of matches thus far, it will be interesting to see if the experienced Sri Lankan international can provide crucial breakthroughs to his side on Friday.

Afghanistan (AFG) will lock horns with Nepal (NEP) at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on Friday, September 25, in match No. 4 of the Men’s Asian Games 2026.

The Blue Tigers, Afghanistan, are not at their full strength, with many regular players not available, like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and T20I captain Ibrahim Zadran. Darwish Rasooli has been appointed captain for this assignment. In the first game, Afghanistan were restricted to 129/6 by Japan. However, the hosts were eventually bowled out for 81.

Meanwhile, Nepal are going to get their campaign started on Friday. They are at full-strength, which will make them slight favourites heading into the clash. Dipendra Singh Airee and Sandeep Lamichhane are two key players to watch out for in this team.

AFG vs NEP: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Dipendra Singh Airee

Dipendra Singh Airee, the Nepal skipper, will look to lead his team from the front. He is one of the rare active cricketers to have hit six sixes in an over. If he gets off to a good start, he can take the game away from Afghanistan in quick time.

Probable Best Bowler: Nangeyalia Kharoti

Nangeyalia Kharoti is a crafty left-arm orthodox bowler who will constantly make the batters play with his tight lines. He can get the ball to turn quite some distance despite being a finger spinner. His spell through the middle overs will be crucial. In the last game, he bagged a three-for and would be high on confidence.

The pitch is expected to help the spinners. From the first two games, it is quite clear that batters will have to grind it out in the middle as the conditions are not going to be suitable for free-flowing batting. The power play overs are going to be the best time to score some quick runs.

Probable Best Bowler: Nasrulla Rana

The right-arm seamer, Nasrulla Rana, was the only silver lining for Hong Kong, China in the last game. He picked up two wickets with the new ball and will have a crucial role in the power play on Friday. If he can make early inroads, it will put pressure on the Oman middle-order.
