Vancouver Knights vs Montreal Tigers Prediction & Betting Tips
Usman Khawaja has struggled to make an impact thus far. In the opening game against Toronto Nationals, Khawaja scored three off ten balls and has continued to struggle since as he has scored 2, 0, 17 and 10 in the last four games which makes us believe he would score low in the upcoming game.
Chris Lynn had an exceptional season last year as he scored 234 runs with an average of 39 and was the leading run scorer for his side, but has failed to make an impact this year as in four matches he has scored 23 runs with an average of 5.75 runs which makes us believe he would score low in the upcoming game.
Vancouver Knights vs Montreal Tigers Match Toss Prediction
Historically the venue has suited the team bowling first, the last three of the four games have been won by the team that bowled first which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bowl first in the upcoming game.
