TON vs BMW 12th Match - Round 1 Prediction

TON vs BMW Team Previews

Toronto Nationals

Toronto Nationals have had a poor run in the tournament thus far and are consequently placed second from the bottom. They have won just one of the three matches played and have two points with a net run-rate of -0.314.

Just when the Nationals were looking down and out of the tournament, a remarkable performance from their batsmen not only revived their campaign but also got them into a decent position to qualify for the playoffs. Batting first, Toronto Nations rode high on splendid knocks from Rodrigo Thomas and Kieron Pollard.

However, despite a power-packed performance from their batsmen, they ended up as the second-best side on that day primarily because of poor performance from their bowlers. Barring Chris Green, they do not have anyone in their bowling attack with considerable experience in playing T20s, which is what hurt them the most. Unless they improve their bowling, things are going to be difficult for them in both of their two upcoming fixtures.

Brampton Wolves

Despite having played just three matches in the competition thus far, two less than the Hawks and the Tigers, the two teams placed at third and fourth place respectively, the Wolves still find themselves at the top of the table which is certainly a commendable effort.

The Wolves have been a force to deal with in the tournament so far. They've beaten all the top three teams in the tournament so far, besides themselves, and will be looking to finish at the top by registering a win in their upcoming fixture. Their dominance in the competition is evident by their terrific net run-rate of +3.853 along with three comprehensive wins to their name.

The likes of Lendl Simmons, George Munsey, and Colin Munro have been brutal at the top for them which is reflected well by the towering total they have posted in all of their matches. With the presence of all-rounders in Shahid Afridi, Rohan Mustafa, and Wahab Riaz, they have a batting line-up that bats deep keeping the varieties in bowling intact. As has been the case in all the matches they've played in the tournament so far, beating them is undoubtedly going to take a lot of effort once again.
