The Qualifier 2 of Global T20 Canada saw Winnipeg Hawks' bowlers making things difficult for Brampton Wolves to begin with. Rayad Emrit and Kaleem Sana struck early as the Brampton Wolves were reduced to 42-3 in the fifth over.
After the failure of their top order, it was the middle and lower-middle order that fired for Brampton Wolves, taking them to 200.
Quick-fire 30s from Babar Hayat, captain Darren Sammy, Shahid Afridi and Wahab Riaz ensured that the Wolves bowlers had enough to defend. However, it was not to be.
